Press RADIO. Continue pressing this but-
ton to toggle to the desired waveband
(
AM, FM1, etc.).
2. Release the button and wait several sec-
onds or press OK/MENU.
3. Press the left or right arrow keys on the

the next available station.
List of stations (in wavebands FM1/FM2
only)
The radio automatically compiles a list of the
strongest FM stations whose signals are cur-
rently being received. This enables you to find
stations when driving in areas where radio sta-
tions and their frequencies are unfamiliar.
To access this list:
1.
Select the desired waveband (
FM1 orFM2).
2.
Turn TUNE one step in either direction.
This displays the list of stations in the area.
The currently tuned station will be indi-
cated in the list by magnified text.
3.
Turn TUNE again in either direction to
select a station on the list.
NOTE
•This list will only display the frequencies
of the stations currently being received,
not a complete list of all radio frequen-
cies on the currently selected wave-
band.
•If the signal from the currently tuned
station is weak, this may prevent the
radio from updating the list of stations.
If this occurs, press
while the list
of stations is displayed to switch to
manual tuning mode and select a sta-
tion. If the list of stations is no longer
displayed, turn TUNE in either direction
to display the list again and press
.
The list will disappear from the display after
several seconds.
If the station list is no longer displayed, turn
TUNE in either direction and press
on the
number key pad on the center console to
switch to manual tuning (or to switch back from
manual tuning to the "list of stations" function).
Manual tuningBy default, the list of stations of the strongest
stations in the area will be displayed when you
turn TUNE (see the preceding section, "List of
stations"). While the list of stations is displayed,

press on the number key pad on the cen-
ter console to switch to manual tuning, which
enables you to select a frequency from the
complete list of all radio frequencies available
on the currently selected waveband. In other
words, in manual tuning mode, turning TUNE
one step will change from e.g., 93.3 to 93.5,
etc.).
To manually tune a station:
1.
Press RADIO. Continue pressing this but-
ton to toggle to the desired waveband
(
AM, FM1, etc.) and wait for several sec-
onds or press OK/MENU to confirm.
2.
Turn TUNE to select a frequency
NOTE
The radio is initially set to automatically
search for stations in the area in which you
are driving (see the preceding section, "List
of stations").
However, if you have switched to manual
tuning (by pressing
on the number key
pad on the center console while the list of
stations is displayed), the radio will remain
in manual tuning mode the next time it is
switched on. To switch back to "list of sta-
tions" mode, turn TUNE one step (to display
the full list of stations) and press
.
Please note that if you press
when the
list of stations is not displayed, this will acti-
vate the INFO function (see page 207 for
more information about this function).
Storing preset stationsTen preset stations can be stored for each
waveband (AM, FM1, etc.).
Stored preset stations are selected using the
number key buttons on the center console.
Manually storing preset stations1. Tune to a station (see "Selecting a sta-
tion").
2. Hold in one of the number key buttons.
> The sound will be muted for several sec-
onds and when it returns, the station hasbeen stored on the number key button
used.
A list of preset stations can be displayed. This
function can be activated/deactivated in AM/

ScanThe function automatically searches the cur-
rent waveband for radio stations. When a sta-
tion is found, it is played for several seconds
before scanning is resumed. While the station
is playing it can be stored as a preset in the
usual way (see "Manually storing preset sta-
tions").

Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio
broadcast
NOTE
HD radio volume may fade in and out at
times due to coverage limitations.
HD radio is a brand name registered by the
Ibiquity digital corporation1. They are thedeveloper of a broadcasting technology called
IBOC or In Band On Channel, which refers to
the method of transmitting a digital radio
broadcast signal centered on the same fre-
quency as the AM or FM station's present fre-
quency.
The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"
since it is both analogue and digital. During
hybrid operation, receivers still continue to
receive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HD
radio receivers incorporate both modes of
reception, where the receiver will automatically
switch to the analogue signal if the digital signal
cannot be decoded or is lost by the receiver.
When you have tuned to an HD Radio station,
the
symbol will appear in the audio sys-
tem display. The symbol is "grayed-out" when
HD Radio is in standby mode and white when
the radio is actively receiving an HD broadcast.
More information about HD radio and IBOC
can be found on Ibiquity's website,
www.hdradio.com and www.ibiquity.com.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
•Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality
and AM as analogue FM).
•Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-
ber of listening choices through “multicast-
ing” (consisting of a frequency's mainchannel and any sub-channels that may
also be available on that particular fre-
quency. See also the section "Sub-chan-
nels" below).
•When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/
crackling due to outside influences.
How HD broadcasting worksHD Radio works similarly to conventional radio
and broadcasts of this type are available in
many areas of the United States. However,
there are a few key differences:
•Instead of transmitting one analogue sig-
nal, stations send out a bundled signal –
both analogue and digital.
•An HD radio receiver can receive both dig-
ital and analogue broadcasts. Depending
on the terrain and location of the vehicle
(which will influence the signal strength),
the receiver will determine which signal to
receive.
Limitations
•Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM
only): The main channel is the only channel
that can receive in hybrid mode (both dig-
ital and analogue). If a frequency has sub-
channels, they are broadcast in digital
mode only. The main FM channel will be

displayed as, for example, 93.9 WNYC
(Volvo uses the symbol ">" to indicate
there are sub-channels available) The sub-
FM channels will be displayed as 93.9 – 2
WNYC, 93.9 - 3 WNYC, etc.
•Reception coverage area: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, the
reception coverage area in digital mode is
somewhat more limited than the station's
analogue coverage area. Please be aware
that as with any radio broadcast technol-
ogy, terrain, time of day, foliage level and
building location can have positive or neg-
ative effects on radio reception.
•Analogue to digital/digital to analogue
blending: Analogue to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-
set threshold in the receiver. This will be
noticeable in fringe areas (areas with weak
reception) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in
sound quality when a change from analogue
to digital or digital to analogue occurs, such
as:
•Volume increase or decrease
•Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Midrange/
Treble cut or boost
•Time alignment (Digital program mate-
rial in extreme cases can be as much as
8 seconds behind the analogue). This
will noticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on the
broadcaster's equipment settings and do
not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio
receiver or antenna systems.
Switching HD on or offThe factory setting for HD radio is off. How-
ever, when driving through areas with weak HD
signals (fringe areas), you may experience that
the radio repeatedly switches between ana-
logue/digital and digital/analogue reception. If
this happens, it may be desirable to switch HD
off. To do so:
1. Be sure the audio system is switched on
and in one of the AM or FM modes.
2.
Press OK/MENU in the center console
control panel.3.
Turn TUNE and move the marker to
HD
Radio.
4.
Press OK/MENU to turn HD off (the X will
disappear from the box on the display
screen).
This will disable the radio's capability to receive
digital broadcasts but it will continue to func-
tion as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM
receiver. Please note that when HD is switched
off, it will not be possible to tune to sub-chan-
nels (see the following section for a more
detailed explanation of sub-channels).
Repeat steps 2-4 above to reactivate HD (an X
will appear in the box on the display screen).
Please note that this will only switch HD on or
off for the selected waveband (AM, FM1, etc.).
