•Tune:Use to go up/down the frequency in individual increments.
If the current station has multiple digital broadcasts,the
multicast indicator will display. Use Tune to advance through all
available broadcasts. If you are on the last broadcast channel, turn to
advance to the next frequency on the band.
•Saving a multicast station as a preset:When the channel is active
on-screen, press and hold a memory preset slot on the right of the
screen until the sound returns. There will be a momentary mute and
then the sound will return signifying it was saved.When recalling a
HD2/HD3 memory preset,there will be a mute before the digital
audio is played as the system must once again acquire the digital
signal. If you have turned this feature off and press a memory preset
containing an HD Radio broadcast station, a pop-up will appear asking
you if you would like to turn the feature back on.
Note:As with any saved radio station, you will not be able to access
the saved station if your vehicle is outside the station’s reception area.
HD Radio reception factors
•Reception area:If you are listening to a multicast station and you
are on the fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due to
weak signal strength. If you are listening to HD1, the system will
switch back to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is
available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible
HD2–HD7 multicast channels, the station will mute and stay muted
unless it is able to connect to the digital signal again.
•Station blending:When a station is first received (aside from
HD2–HD7 multicast stations), the system will first play the station in
the analog version and then, if receiver verifies the station is an HD
Radio station, it will shift into the digital version. Depending on the
station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station
changes from analog to the digital version. This shift from analog to
digital sound or digital back to analog, is known as ‘blending’.
Station issues
In order to provide the best possible experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio technology. Every station is independently
owned and operated. These stations are responsible for ensuring all
audio streams and data fields are accurate. This form can be found at:
