Lexus Display Audio system
HD Radio™ Technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio.
Your radio product has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital
broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it
already receives.
Digital broadcasts have better sound quality than analog broadcasts as
digital broadcasts provide free, crystal clear audio with no static or distor-
tion. For more information, and a guide to available radio stations and pro-
gramming, refer to www.hdradio.com
.
“HD Radio features included in Lexus radios:
Digital Sound - HD Radio broadcasts deliver crystal-clear, digital audio
quality to listeners.
HD2 /HD3 Channels - FM stations can provide additional digital only
audio programming with expanded content and format choices on HD2 /
HD3 channels.
PSD - Program Service Data (PSD) gives you on-screen information such
as artist name and song title.
iTunes Tagging - Listeners can tag (store) songs they like for later review
and purchase through iTunes.
Artist Experience - Images related to the broadcast are displayed on the
radio screen, such as album cover art and station logos.”

■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the continually
changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and surrounding
objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio
reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the
antenna wire mounted inside the rear window.
