HD Radio™ — If Equipped
HD Radio™ technology is the digital evolution of
analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a special
receiver, which allows it to receive digital
broadcasts (where available) in addition to the
analog broadcasts. Digital broadcasts provide free,
crystal clear audio with no static or distortion.
For more information and a guide to available
station
s and programming, please visit
hdradio.com .
To begin using HD Radio™:

1. P ress the Media Button.

2. S ele

ct AM or FM tab.
3 .
Se
l

ect the HD button. When

HD Radio™ reception is enabled and a
stati on

with HD Radio™ broadcasts is playing, the
following indicators may appear on the screen:
HD Radio™ Logo: This indicator will display in
gray when a digital station is being acquired and
will appear in orange and white when digital
audio is playing. When this logo is available, you
will also see Station Call Sign (e.g. WNIC), Title
and Artist fields on screen.
Multicast Indicator (1 2 3...): These numbers will
appear if the current station has multiple digital
broadcasts. Press the Seek Up or Down button
repeatedly to access the other digital broad -
casts. The numbers that are highlighted signify
a vaila

ble digital channels where new/different
content is available. HD1 will signify the main
programming service and is available in analog
and digital broadcasts. Any additional multicast
stations (HD2–HD8) are only broadcast digi -
tally.
Album Art/Station Logo: Some HD Radio™
stations broadcast station logos and album art
associated with the song being played as part of
the HD Radio™ broadcast service. Station logo
art is stored in the radio and may take up to five
minutes to learn for each station that supports
station logo service. Album art is broadcast at
the beginning of songs. If tuning into the middle
of a song, the art may not be available.

MULTIMEDIA 153
When HD Radio™ broadcasts are active, you can
access the following functions:
Seek Up And Down: Press to seek to the next
strong radio station. If the current station has
multiple digital broadcasts, the multicast indi -
cator numbers will display. Press “Seek” repeat -
edly to advance through all available
b roadc

asts. If you are on the last multicast
channel, press “Seek Up” to advance to the next
strong station.
Saving A Multicast Station As A Preset: When
the channel is active on-screen, press and hold
a Preset button; it will save the station to the
available slot. When recalling an HD2, HD3, etc.
memory preset, there will be a momentary mute
before the digital audio is played as the system
acquires the digital signal. If you have turned
this feature off, this will automatically turn on
HD Radio™ broadcasts and will tune to the
selected frequency. As with any saved radio
station, you will not be able to access the saved
station if your vehicle is outside the station’s
reception area.
“LIVE” Ballgame Mode Broadcasts: If a station
has a live broadcast (such as a baseball game),
“LIVE” may appear on screen beside the multi -
cast numbers. These are analog broadcasts
with d

igital components (i.e. artist, title). If HD1
is in a live broadcast mode, the HD Radio™ logo
will be gray. You will hear analog audio; the user
will still be able to tune to the multicast chan -
nels.
Reception Area:
If y ou
are listening to a multicast
(HD2, HD3, etc.) station and you are on the fringe
of the reception area, the station may mute due to
weak signal strength. If you are listening to HD1,
the system will simply switch to the analog
broadcast until the digital broadcast is available
again.
However, if you are listening to any of the possible
multi c

ast (HD2, HD3, etc.) channels, the station
will mute and stay muted unless it is able to
connect to the digital signal again. While in this
state, the text “buffering” will appear for 30 sec-
onds. If it is not able to reconnect to the digital
signal, the screen will be cleared and “HD Radio™
Signal Unavailable” will appear in artist and title
field area. Station Blending:
When
an HD1 station is received,
the system will play the analog audio broadcast
from the station for a few seconds and then, if the
receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio™
station, it will transition to play the digital audio
broadcast. Depending on the station quality, you
may hear a slight sound change when the station
transitions from analog to the digital broadcast.
The shift from analog to digital or digital back to
analog sound is known as “blending”.
Station Issues: In ord
er to provide the best
possible experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues found while
listening to a station broadcasting with HD Radio™
technology. Every station is independently owned
and operated. These stations are responsible for
ensuring all audio streams and data fields are
accurate. This form can be found at https://
hdradio.com/stations/feedback/ .
