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-
FM stations can provide addi-
tional digital only audio pro-
gramming with expanded
content and format choices on
HD2/HD3 channels.
 PSD-
Program Service Data (PSD)
gives you on-screen informa-
tion such as artist name and
song title. 
Artist Experience-
Images related to the broad-
cast are displayed on the
radio screen, such as album
cover art and station logos.

FM station.
1 Select the “HD)” logo.
2 Select the desired channel.
 Turning the “TUNE
SCROLL”/“TUNE/SCROLL”
knob can also select the
desired multicast channel.
■Experience
 Mismatch of time alignment- a
user may hear a short period
of programming replayed or
an echo, stutter or skip.
Cause: The radio stations analog
and digital volume is not properly
aligned or the station is in ballgame
mode.
Action: None, radio broadcast
issue. A user can contact the radio
station.
 Sound fades, blending in and
out.
Cause: Radio is shifting between
analog and digital audio.
Action: Reception issue, may
clear-up as the vehicle continues to
be driven. Turning the indicator of
the “HD Radio AM” and “HD Radio
FM” button off can force radio in an
analog audio.
Audio mute condition when an
HD2/HD3 multicast channel
had been playing.
Cause: The radio does not have
access to digital signals at the
moment.
Action: This is normal behavior,
wait until the digital signal returns. If
out of the coverage area, seek a
new station.
Audio mute delay when
selecting an HD2/HD3 multi-
cast channel preset.
Cause: The digital multicast content
is not available until HD Radio™
broadcast can be decoded and
make the audio available. This
takes up to 7 seconds.
Action: This is normal behavior,
wait for the audio to become avail-
able.
 Text information does not
match the present song
audio.
Cause: Data servic e issue by the
radio broadcaster.
Action: Broadcaster should be noti-
fied. Complete the form:
