USING HD Radio ™

TECHNOLOGY
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 broad-
casts (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 distortion. For
more information, and a guide to avail-
able radio stations and programming,
refer to www.hdradio.com
.
HD Radio features included in Lexus
radios:
z Digital Sound  HD Radio broadcasts
deliver crystal-clear, digital audio quality
to listeners.
z HD2 /HD3 Channels  FM stations can
provide additional digital only audio pro-
gramming with expanded content and
format choices on HD2 /HD3 channels.
z PSD  Program Service Data (PSD)
gives you on-screen information such as
artist name and song title.
z iTunes Tagging  Listeners can tag
(store) songs they like for later review and
purchase through iTunes.
z Artist Experience  Images related to
the broadcast are displayed on the radio
screen, such as album cover art and sta-
tion logos.
