In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM
wavebands only) will also have sub-channels
offering additional types of programming or
music.
In such cases, a number will be displayed to
the right of the frequency number indicating
that the currently tuned frequency has at least
one sub-channel. The "2" in the illustration indi-
cates that you are currently listening to the first
sub-channel on frequency 93.9.
Selecting sub-channelsTo listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press
the right arrow key on the center console or on
the steering wheel keypad. To go back to the
main channel, press the left arrow key. To go
to subchannel 2 (if available), press the right
arrow key.
If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main
channel, pressing the left arrow key will tune to
the next lower radio frequency.
NOTE
•When the radio has gone into HD mode,
it may take several seconds before the
">" symbol (if the current frequency has
any sub-channels) is displayed to the
right of the frequency. Pressing the
arrow keys before the number is dis-
played will cause the radio to tune to the
next available radio station, not to the
current station's sub-channels.
•When you are no longer in broadcasting
range of the currently tuned sub-chan-
nel,
No HD reception will be dis-
played. The radio will then be muted
and it will be necessary to tune to or
search for a new radio station.
Sub-channels can also be stored as presets,
see page 251 for information on storing sta-
tions.
If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it
may take up to 6 seconds before the channel
becomes audible. If you press this button while
you are out of digital range of the transmitter,
No HD reception will be displayed.
