HD Radio™
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the DTS,
Inc.3. They are the developer of a broadcastingtechnology 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 FM station's present frequency.
Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broad-cast (generic illustration)
NOTE
HD Radio volume may fade in and out attimes due to coverage limitations.
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 receivingan HD broadcast
Orange symbol: the radio is receiving anHD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC canbe found on DTS, Inc.'s website, www.dts.com.
