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 qua lity than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free, crystal clear audio with no static or distortion. For more
information, and a guide to available radio stations and programming, 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 pro-
gramming with expanded content and format choices on HD2 /HD3 channels.
PSD - Program Service Data (PSD) gives you on-screen information such as art-
ist name and song title.
iTunes Tagging - Listeners can tag (store) songs they like for later review and pur-
chase through iTunes.
Artist Experience - Images related to the broadcast are displayed on the radio
screen, such as album cover art and station logos.”
