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 broad-
casts (where available) in addi-
tion to the analog broadcasts it
already receives. Digital broad-
casts have better sound quality
than analog broadcasts as digi-
tal broadcasts provide free,
crystal clear audio with no static
or distortion. For more informa-
tion, and a guide to available
radio stations and programming,
refer to www.hdradio.com
.
HD Radio features included in
Toyota radios:
 Digital Sound-
HD Radio broadcasts deliver
crystal-clear, digital audio
quality to listeners.
 HD2/HD3 Channels-

tional digital only audio pro-
gramming with expanded

 PSD-

tion such as artist name and
song title.
 Artist Experience-

and digital volume is not properly
aligned or the station is in ballgame
mode.

issue. A user can contact the radio
station.

out.

had been playing.

Action: This is normal behavior,
wait until the digital signal returns. If
out of the coverage area, seek a
new station.

selecting an HD2/HD3 multi-
cast channel preset.

is not available until HD Radio

wait for the audio to become avail-
able.

fied. Complete the form:
