signal. If you have turned this feature off, this will automatically turn
on HD Radio broadcasts and will tune to the selected frequency.
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.
LIVE broadcasts:If a station has a
live broadcast (such as a baseball
game), LIVE will appear embedded
in the antenna on screen. These are
analog broadcasts with digital
components (i.e. artist, title).
Note:If HD1 is a live broadcast, the
HD Radio broadcast logo will not
appear. If HD2–HD8 is a live
broadcast, the multicast button may
be displayed, but not the HD Radio
broadcast logo.
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 simply switch
to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2–HD8 multicast
channels, the station will mute and stay muted unless it is able to
connect to the digital signal again. If it is not able to reconnect, ‘HD
Unavailable’ will appear in the lower status bar.
Station blending:When a station is received, the system will play the
station in the analog version and then, if the 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
segues from analog to the digital version. The shift from analog to digital
or digital back to analog sound 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:

Satellite radio channels:SIRIUSbroadcasts a variety of music, news,
sports, weather, traffic and entertainment satellite radio channels. For
more information and a complete list of SIRIUSsatellite radio channels,
visit www.sirius.com in the United States, www.siriuscanada.ca in
Canada, or call SIRIUS at 1–888–539–7474.
Satellite radio reception factors:To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
•Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display
ACQUIRING...toindicatetheinterference.
SIRIUSsatellite radio service:SIRIUSSatellite Radio is a
subscription based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports,
