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/ .
