HD Radio technology is the digital evolution
of analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a
special receiver that allows it to receive
digital broadcasts (where available) in
addition to the analog broadcasts, it already
receives. Digital broadcasts provide a better
sound quality than analog broadcasts with
free, crystal-clear audio and no static or
distortion. For more information, and a guide
to available stations and programming,
please visit www.hdradio.com.
When HD Radio is on and you tune to a
station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
you may notice the following indicators on
your screen:
The HD Radio logo either blinks when
acquiring a digital station, and then stays
solid when digital audio is playing, or is grey
when acquiring a digital station, and then
changes to orange when digital audio is
playing. When this logo is available, you may
also see Title and Artist fields on-screen.
The multicast indicator appears in FM mode
(only) if the current station is broadcasting
multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted
numbers signify available digital channels
where new or different content is available.
HD1 signifies the main programming status
and is available in analog and digital
broadcasts. Other multicast stations (HD2
through HD7) are only available digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to download
later when you are on an acquired HD Radio
station and the feature is on. To turn the
feature on and use it:
1. Press
AM or FM > Options > TAG Button
> On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG
.
3. The system automatically saves the song's information and transfers it to your
portable music player (if supported) when
you connect it to the system. The system
automatically transfers the tag to your
player (if already connected) and a
pop-up confirms the transfer.
4. When you access iTunes with your portable music player, the tags appear
to you as a reminder. The system allows
you to tag up to approximately 100
songs. For a list of devices that support
tagging, see www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and injury.
We strongly recommend that you use
extreme caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe operation
of your vehicle. We recommend against the
use of any handheld device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you are
aware of all applicable local laws that may
affect the use of electronic devices while
driving. For safety reasons, do not connect or
adjust the settings on your portable
music player while your vehicle is moving. WARNINGS
Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when your vehicle
is moving. Hard objects may become
projectiles in a crash or sudden stop, which
may increase the risk of serious injury. The
audio extension cable must be long enough
to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while your vehicle is moving. 420

Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an
auxiliary audio/video source (such as a
gaming systems or a personal camcorder)
by connecting RCA cords (not included) to
these input jacks. The jacks are yellow, red
and white and are located either behind a
small access door on the instrument panel
or in your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an
auxiliary input jack to play music from your
portable music player over your vehicle's
speakers. Plug in your 1/8 inch (3.5 millimeter)
RCA adapter into the two left A/V input jacks
(red and white).
Press the lower left corner of the
touchscreen, and then select A/V In. To use the auxiliary input jack feature, make
sure that your portable music player is
designed for use with headphones and that
it is fully charged. You also need an audio
extension cable with stereo male 1/8-inch
(3.5 millimeter) connectors at one end and a
RCA jack at the other.
1.
Switch off the engine, radio and portable
music player. Set the parking brake and
put the transmission in position
P.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output of your
player and the other end into the adapter
in one of the two left A/V input jacks
(white or red) inside the center console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned FM
station or a CD (if there is a CD already
loaded into the system).
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to ½ the maximum.
6. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the
A/V In tab. (You
should hear audio from your portable
music player although it may be low.) 7.
Adjust the sound on your portable music
player until it reaches the level of the FM
station or CD by switching back and forth
between the controls.
In order to playback video from your iPod or
iPhone, you must have a special combination
USB/RCA composite video cable (which you
can buy from Apple). When you connect the
cable to your iPod or iPhone, plug the other
end into both the RCA jacks and the USB
port.
Troubleshooting
• Do not connect the audio input jack to a
line level output. The jack only works
correctly with devices that have a
headphone output with a volume control.
• Do not set the portable music player's
volume level higher than is necessary to
match the volume of the CD or FM radio
as this causes distortion and reduces
sound quality.
421
MKZ (), enUSA MyLincoln Touch™E142622
•
If the music sounds distorted at lower
listening levels, turn the portable music
player volume down. If the problem
persists, replace or recharge the batteries
in the portable media player. •
Control the portable media player in the
same manner when used with
headphones, as the auxiliary input jack
does not provide control (such as Play or
Pause) over the attached portable media
player.
