▼HD Radio
What is HD Radio™ Technology and
how does it work?
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 quality than
analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts
provide free, crystal clear audio. For more
information, and a guide to available radio
stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.
Benefits of HD Radio™ Technology
(Information)
The song title, artist name, album name
and genre will appear on the screen when
available by the radio station.
(Multicast)
On the FM radio frequency most digital
stations have “multiple” or supplemental
programs on each FM station.
Listening to HD Radio™ Technology
If
icon turns on by selecting a radio
station which is an
broadcasting
station, the analog broadcast is switched to
an
broadcast automatically after
a few seconds and then received.
If the
broadcast is stopped and
changed to an analog broadcast, press
down
to turn off .

Multicast channel selection (FM)
If multi-cast channels are available for an
broadcast currently being
received, the multi-cast channel list is
displayed. Select the desired radio station.
NOTE
If an analog broadcast is received once
and
is received while HD1 is
selected, the audio unit switches to the

could be a noticeable difference in
sound quality and volume when a

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

possible.
When an HD specialty channel (HD2 to
