• Reception coverage area
: Due to cur-
rent IBOC transmitter power limitations,the reception coverage area in digitalmode is somewhat more limited than thestation's analogue coverage area. Pleasebe aware that as with any radio broadcasttechnology, terrain, time of day, foliagelevel and building location can have posi-tive or negative effects on radio recep-tion.
• Analogue to digital/digital to analogue blending
: Analogue to digital blending
will occur as the signal strength reaches a preset threshold in the receiver. This willbe noticeable in fringe areas (areas withweak reception) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from ana-logue to digital or digital to analogueoccurs, such as:
• Volume increase or decrease
• Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Mid- range/Treble cut or boost
• Time alignment (Digital program mate-rial in extreme cases can be as muchas 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 on. How-
ever, when driving through areas with weak HD signals (fringe areas), you may experiencethat the radio repeatedly switches betweenanalogue/digital and digital/analogue recep-tion. If this happens, it may be desirable toswitch HD off. To do so:
1. Be sure the audio system is switched on and in AM or FM mode.
2. Press MENU in the center console con-
trol panel. 3. Press
ENTER 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 continueto function as a conventional (analogue)AM/FM receiver. Please note that when HD isswitched off, it will not be possible to tune tosub-channels (see the following section for amore detailed explanation of sub-channels). Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to reactivate HD (an X will appear in the box on the displayscreen).
