Switching on HD Radio
iAs HD Radio stations are broadcast in the
AM/FM wavebands, operating HD Radio is
very similar to operating analog AM/FM
radio. This section describes only those
functions that differ from standard FM
radio functions.
Operating analog FM/AM radio is described
in the "Radio" section ( Y page 199).
You can deactivate HD Radio for the selected
frequency in the radio submenu.
XSelect Audio in the main function bar by
sliding ZV and turning cVd the COMAND

The audio menu appears.XSelect Radio by sliding ZV the COMAND

section ( Y page 200).
Selecting a station
You can select an HD Radio station in the
same way as selecting a standard FM radio
station. After setting an HD Radio frequency,
you will briefly hear the analog station until
the digital data has been decoded. You will
then be listening to digital radio and be able
to switch to a sub-program (-HD2).
