Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broadcast HD radio is a brand name registered by the Ibiquity digital corporation
2
. They are the
developer of a broadcasting technology called IBOC or In Band On Channel, whichrefers to the method of transmitting a digitalradio broadcast signal centered on the same frequency as the AM or FM station's presentfrequency. The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid" since it is both analogue and digital. Duringhybrid operation, receivers still continue toreceive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HDradio receivers incorporate both modes ofreception, where the receiver will automati-cally switch to the analogue signal if the digi-tal signal cannot be decoded or is lost by thereceiver. When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in
the audio system display. 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 greaternumber of listening choices through “mul-ticasting” (consisting of a frequency'smain channel and any sub-channels thatmay also be available on that particularfrequency. See also the section "Sub-channels" below). •
When receiving a digital signal there is nomultipath 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 availa-ble in many areas of the United States. How-ever, 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 bothdigital and analogue broadcasts.Depending on the terrain and location ofthe vehicle (which will influence the signalstrength), the receiver will determinewhich signal to receive.
Limitations
• Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only)
: The main channel is the only chan-
nel that can receive in hybrid mode (both digital and analogue). If a frequency hassub-channels, they are broadcast in digi-tal mode only. The main FM channel willbe displayed as, for example, 93.9 WNYC(Volvo uses the symbol > to indicate thereare 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 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).

In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channelsoffering additional types of programming ormusic. In such cases, a number will be displayed to the right of the frequency number indicatingthat the currently tuned frequency has at leastone sub-channel. The "2" in the illustrationindicates that you are currently listening tothe 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 oron the steering wheel keypad. To go back tothe main channel, press the left arrow key. Togo to subchannel 2 (if available), press theright arrow key. If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main channel, pressing the left arrow key willtune to the next lower radio frequency.
NOTE
•When the radio has gone into HD mode, it may take several secondsbefore the ">" symbol (if the currentfrequency has any sub-channels) isdisplayed to the right of the frequency.Pressing the arrow keys before thenumber is displayed will cause theradio to tune to the next available radiostation, not to the current station'ssub-channels.
• When you are no longer in broadcast-ing range of the currently tuned
sub-
channel ,
No HD reception will be
displayed. The radio will then be muted and it will be necessary to tuneto or search for a new radio station.
Sub-channels can also be stored as presets, see page 258 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 buttonwhile you are out of digital range of the trans- mitter,
No HD reception will be displayed.

Listening to satellite radio
The SiriusXM ™ satellite system consists of a
number of high elevation satellites in geosyn- chronous orbit.
NOTE
• The digital signals from the SiriusXM
™
satellites are line-of-sight, which means that physical obstructions suchas bridges, tunnels, etc, may tempo-rarily interfere with signal reception.
• Avoid any obstructions, such as metal-lic objects transported on roof racks orin a ski box, or other antennas thatmay impede signals from the Sir-iusXM
™ satellites.
Selecting SiriusXM™ radio mode
1. Press Power to switch on the audio sys-
tem (see page 252 for information on the standard radio functions).
2. Turn the SELECTOR dial until Sirius 1 or
2 is displayed.
Activating SiriusXM ™ radio
1. Tune to a satellite channel that has no
audio, which means that the channel is unsubscribed and the text "
Call
888-539-SIRIUS TO SUBSCRIBE" is displayed (see also "Selecting a channel" in the right column).
2. Call SiriusXM ™ at 1-888-539-SIRIUS
(7474).
3. When asked for the SiriusXM ™ ID num-
ber press AUTO to display this number. It
is also possible to retrieve the SiriusXM ™
ID from the MENU.
4. "
UPDATING SUBSCRIPTION" will be
displayed while the subscription is being updated, after which the display willreturn to the normal view.
SiriusXM™ ID
The SiriusXM ™ ID is required when contact-
ing the SiriusXM ™ Call Center. It is used to
activate your account and when making any account transactions. The SiriusXM ™ ID is
