HD Radio™ information (if available)
What is HD Radio™ technology and how does it work?HD Radio™
technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your system
has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital broadcasts (where
available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives. Digital
broadcasts provide a better sound quality than analog broadcasts with
free, crystal clear audio and no static or distortion. For more information,
and a guide to available stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.
Note:HD Radio broadcasts are not available in all markets.
Using HD Radio™ technology
When this feature is enabled and you are tuned to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology, you may notice the following indicators on your
screen:
HD) logo: This indicator will blink
when a digital station is being
acquired and will be solid when
digital audio is playing.
Note:When this logo is available,
you may also see Title and Artist
fields on screen.

Multicast indicator:This will
appear in FM mode (only) if the
current station is broadcasting
multiple digital broadcasts. The
numbers that are highlighted signify
available digital channels where
new/different content is available.
HD1 will signify the main
programming status and is available in analog and digital broadcasts. Any
additional multicast stations (HD2–HD7) are only broadcast digitally.
The tagging feature
The tagging feature allows you to tag a song to download later. When
you are on an acquired HD Radio station, the TAG button will become
available (provided the feature has been turned on). To use the tag
feature:
1. Press AM/FM > Options > TAG On.
2. When you hear a song you like,
touch TAG.
3. The system will automatically
save the song’s information and
transfer it to your portable music player (if supported) when it is
connected to the system. If your music player is connected at the time,
the system will automatically transfer the tag to your player and a pop
up will confirm the transfer.
4. When you access iTuneswith your portable music player, the tags
will appear to you will be reminded of the song. The system will allow
you to tag up to approximately 100 songs.
Note:For a list of devices that support tagging, refer to
www.SyncMyRide.com or www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the
following functions:
•Scan:Your scan feature will still work when HD Radio reception is
activated, although it will not scan for HD2 - HD7 channels. You may
see the HD logo appear if the station has a digital broadcast.
•Seek:Press to seek to the next strong radio station.If the current
station has multiple digital broadcasts,the multicast indicator will

•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:
http://www.ibiquity.com/automotive/report_radio_station_experiences.
