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 re-
ceives. Digital broadcasts have better
sound quality than analog broadcasts
as digital broadcasts provide free,
crystal clear audio with no static or dis-
tortion. For more information, and a
guide to available radio stations and
programming, refer to www.hdra-
dio.com.

poration. U.S. and Foreign Patents.
