HD radio is active. You can press TAG to save the inform-

HD Radio ™ Information (If Available)
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not
available in all markets.
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.
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:
The HD Radio logo blinks when a digital
station is being acquired and is solid when
digital audio is playing. When this logo is
available, you may also see Title and Artist
fields on-screen . The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts.
The numbers that are highlighted signify
available digital channels where new or
different content is available. HD1 signifies
the main programming status and is
available in analog and digital broadcasts.
Any additional multicast stations (HD2
through HD7) are only broadcast digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to
download later. When you are on an
acquired HD Radio station, the TAG button
is available (provided the feature has been
turned on). To use the tag feature:
1.
Press AM or FM, Options, then TAG On
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG.
3. The system automatically saves the song's information and transfers 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
automatically transfers the tag to your
player and a pop-up confirms the
transfer.

4. When you access iTunes® with yourportable music player, the tags appear
to you to be reminded of the song. The
system allows you to tag up to
approximately 100 songs. 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:
You Can
When You Select
Hear a brief sampling of all available stations.
Scan
This feature still works when HD Radio reception is activ-
ated, although it does not scan for HD2-HD7 channels.
You may see the HD logo appear if the station has a digital
broadcast.
Hear the next strong radio station.
Seek
If the current station has multiple digital broadcasts, the
multicast indicator appears. Press Seek repeatedly to
advance through all available broadcasts. If you are on
the last multicast channel, press Seek to advance to the
next strong station.
Go up and down the frequency in individual increments.
Tune
If the current station has multiple digital broadcasts, the
multicast indicator appears. Press Tune repeatedly to
advance through all available broadcasts. If you are on
the last broadcast channel, turn to advance to the next
frequency on the band.
When the channel is active on-screen, press and hold a
memory preset slot until the sound returns. There is a brief
mute, then the sound returns signifying it was saved. When
recalling a HD2 or HD3 memory preset, there is a mute
before the digital audio is played as the system must once
again acquire the digital signal. As with any saved radio
station, you cannot access the saved station if your vehicle
is outside the station's reception area.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential Reception Issues
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 switches 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 mutes and stay
muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal
again.
Reception area
When a station is first received (aside from HD2-HD7
multicast stations), the system first plays the station in
the analog version and then, if receiver verifies the station
is an HD Radio station, it shifts to the digital version.
Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight
sound change when the station changes from analog to
digital. This shift from analog to digital sound or digital
back to analog, is known as "blending".
Station blending
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.
