NOTE
 


 If an analog broadcast is received once
and
is received while HD1 is
selected, the audio unit switches to the

station automatically. 


 When the icon is illuminated, there
could be a noticeable difference in
sound quality and volume when a
change from digital to analog signals
occurs. If the sound quality and volume
become noticeably diminished or cut
off, select the
icon to turn off

( icon is not illuminated). 


 Once an analog broadcast is received
when HD1 is selected from the Favorite
channels, it is switched to

automatically. If the radio reception
conditions are poor, or HD is off,
switching to
broadcasts is
not possible.
 


 When an HD specialty channel (HD2 to
HD8) is selected from the Favorite
channels, “Signal Lost” is displayed
and no audio is output until

is received. If the radio reception
conditions are poor, “Signal Lost”
continues to be displayed.
 


 If the icon is not illuminated,
information such as song titles of the

station are received,
however, the audio output is analog.

iTunes Tagging (for Apple devices with
USB use only)
By tagging a song currently being aired,
the song can later be purchased from
the iTunes Store. One hundred tags
can be stored. A maximum of 100 tags
(for 100 songs) can be stored for later
downloading.

1. Select the icon. The tag is stored in
the audio unit.
2. Connect the device via the vehicle's
USB. Any stored tag(s) will be sent
automatically to the connected device.
3. Once at home or after parking the
vehicle safely, log onto the iTunes
Store with your device. Your previously
tagged song(s) can now be easily
purchased.

NOTE
 


 Both AM and FM can be
used.
 


 Because iTunes tagging only supports
purchases from the iTunes Store, direct
downloading of music from the vehicle's
audio unit is not possible.
 


 If the available memory for the
connected device is insuffi cient, the tag
is not sent.
 


 If an error occurs while the tag is being
sent, reconnect the device.

Bluetooth ® audio device corresponds
only to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you
cannot operate it using the control panel
of the vehicle's audio system. In this

Bluetooth ® connection is disconnected.
For this reason, you cannot have music
playback over a Bluetooth

and music playback using a USB
connection at the same time.
