How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio and broadcasts of this type are availablein many areas of the United States. However,there are a few key differences:
Instead of transmitting one analogue sig-nal, stations send out a bundled signal –both analog and digital.
An HD Radio receiver can receive bothdigital and analog broadcasts. Dependingon the terrain and location of the vehicle(which will influence the signal strength),the receiver will determine which signal toreceive.

Activating and deactivating the HD Radio
™
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves the factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and driving through areas with weak HD signals(fringe areas), you may experience that theradio repeatedly switches between analog/digital and digital/analog reception. If this hap-pens, it may be desirable to switch HD off. Carry out the following to activate or deacti- vate HD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings.
2. Press
Media and FM Radio.
3. Press
HD Radio FM to activate/deacti-
vate the function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be unable to receive digital broadcasts but it willcontinue to function as a conventional radio(analog FM receiver). Please note that whenHD is switched off, it will not be possible totune in to sub-channels.

Limitations
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only)
: The main channel is the only chan-
nel that can receive in hybrid mode (bothdigital and analog). If a frequency has sub-channels, they are broadcast in digitalmode only. The main FM channel will bedisplayed as, for example, "WRIF-FMHD1". The sub-FM channels will be dis-played as"WRIF-FM HD2", "WRIF-FMHD3", 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, likeall radio transmission technology, terrain,time of day, vegetation and buildings canhave a positive or negative effect on radioreception.
Analog to digital/digital to analogblending
: Analog to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-set threshold in the receiver. This will benoticeable in fringe areas (areas with weakreception) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from ana-logue to digital or digital to analogueoccurs, such as:
Volume increase or decrease
Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Mid-range/Treble cut or boost
Time alignment (Digital program mate-rial in extreme cases can be as muchas 8 seconds behind the analogue).This will noticeable as a "stuttering"effect.
The above items are dependant on thebroadcaster's equipment settings anddo not indicate a fault in the vehicle'sradio receiver or antenna systems .
