HD Radio™
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the DTS, Inc.3
. They are the developer of a broadcasting
technology called IBOC or In Band On Channel, which refers to the method of transmitting a digi-tal radio broadcast signal centered on the samefrequency as the AM or FM station's present fre- quency.
Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broad- cast (generic illustration)
NOTE
HD Radio volume may fade in and out at times due to coverage limitations.
2 Certain stations only.
3 HD Radio ™ technology is manufactured under license from DTS' U.S. and foreign Patents. HD Radio ™ and the HD and HD Radio logos are proprietary trademarks of DTS.

The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid" since it is both analog and digital. During hybridoperation, receivers still continue to receive theanalog (non-digital) signal. HD Radio receiversincorporate both modes of reception, where thereceiver will automatically switch to the analogsignal if the digital signal cannot be decoded oris lost by the receiver. When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in the infotainment sys-
tem display. The symbol will be displayed in dif- ferent colors:
• Grayed-out symbol
: No HD Radio broad-
cast reception
• White symbol
: the radio is actively receiving
an HD broadcast
• Orange symbol
: the radio is receiving an
HD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC canbe found on DTS, Inc.'s website, www.dts.com.
Artist Experience ™A radio station's logo and album art can be dis-played. If a station opts to provide this informa-tion, it is broadcast once every 12 minutes, whichmeans that there may be a delay before thelogo/album art appear on the screen. The radiocan store 100 station logos so the next time theradio is tuned to the same station, the logo willbe displayed immediately. Album art is synchedwith the artist that you are currently listening to.
Ball game modeThis feature means that a main FM station (HD1)will broadcast live events, where the content ofthe programming is more important than soundquality, in analog mode only to help prevent thedelay between analog and digital broadcasting.The HD Radio symbol will be white during livebroadcasts and "Live" will be displayed next tothe symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
•Better sound (FM sounds near CD qualityand AM as analog FM).
• Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-ber of listening choices through "multicast-ing" (consisting of a frequency's main chan-nel and any sub-channels that may also beavailable on that particular frequency.)
• When receiving a digital signal there is nomultipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crack-ling due to outside influences.
How HD Radio
™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radioand broadcasts of this type are available in manyareas of the United States. However, there are afew key differences: •
Instead of transmitting one analog signal,stations send out a bundled signal - bothanalog and digital.
• An HD Radio receiver can receive both digi-tal and analog broadcasts. Depending on theterrain and location of the vehicle (which willinfluence the signal strength), the receiverwill determine which signal to receive.

Activating and deactivating the HD
Radio™
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves the factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and driv- ing through areas with weak HD signals (fringeareas), you may experience that the radio repeat-edly switches between analog/digital and digital/analog reception. If this happens, it may be desir-able to switch HD off. Carry out the following to activate or deactivate HD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings.
2. Press
Media and AM/FM Radio.
3. Press
HD Radio AM or HD Radio FM to
activate/deactivate the function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be unable to receive digital broadcasts but it will continue tofunction as a conventional radio (analog AM/FMreceiver). Please note that when HD is switchedoff, it will not be possible to tune in to sub-chan-nels. Note that if you activate or deactivate HD Radio only the selected wavelength band is affected.

HD Radio™ sub-channels
In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channelsoffering additional types of programming ormusic.
Sub-channels
Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels
If any sub-channels are available, they will listed below the main channel on the screen. In thisexample, WILD-FM HD2 is a sub-channel.

Selecting sub-channels
To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), tap the station on the screen or press the forward/backarrow keys on the right-side steering wheel key-pad or below the screen. Sub-channels can also be saved as radio favor- ites. If you tap a sub-channel favorite, it may take up to 6 seconds before the channel becomes audi-
ble. If you tap a station while you are out of digital range of the transmitter,
No reception will be
displayed.

HD Radio™ limitations
Limitations
• Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only)
:
The main channel is the only channel that can receive in hybrid mode (both digital andanalog). If a frequency has sub-channels,they are broadcast in digital mode only. Themain FM channel will be displayed as, forexample, "WRIF-FM HD1". The sub-FMchannels will be displayed as"WRIF-FMHD2", "WRIF-FM HD3", etc.
• Reception coverage area
: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, thereception coverage area in digital mode issomewhat more limited than the station'sanalog coverage area. Be aware that, like allradio transmission technology, terrain, time ofday, vegetation and buildings can have apositive or negative effect on radio reception.
• Analog to digital/digital to analog blend-ing
: Analog to digital blending will occur as
the signal strength reaches a preset thresh-old in the receiver. This will be noticeable infringe areas (areas with weak reception) andis normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from analogueto digital or digital to analogue occurs, suchas:
• Volume increase or decrease
• Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Midrange/Treble cut or boost
• Time alignment (Digital program materialin extreme cases can be as much as 8seconds behind the analogue). This willnoticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on thebroadcaster's equipment settings and donot indicate a fault in the vehicle's radioreceiver or antenna systems .

Listening to satellite radioThe digital signals from the satellites are line-of- sight, which means that physical obstructionssuch as bridges, tunnels, etc, may temporarilyinterfere with signal reception. Avoid any obstructions, such as metallic objects transported on roof racks or in a ski box, or otherantennas that may impede signals from the SiriusXM ®
satellites.
