HOW DOES DIGITAL RADIO WORK

HD1 signifies the main programming statusand is available in both analog and digitalbroadcasts. Other multicast stations areonly available digitally and could containnew or different content.
Note:When the system first receives anHD1 station, it plays the station in the analogversion until it verifies the station is an HDRadio station. Then it shifts to the digitalversion.
Note:There is an audio mute delay whenswitching to an HD2 or HD3 station becausethe system has to reacquire and decode thedigital signal.
DIGITAL RADIO LIMITATIONS
If you are outside the reception area, thesystem could not work.
If you are on the fringe of the receptionarea, the station could mute due to weaksignal strength.
Note:If you are listening to HD1, the systemchanges back to the analog broadcast untilthe digital broadcast is available again. Ifyou are listening to any other multicastchannels, the station mutes and staysmuted unless it is able to connect to thedigital signal again.
