▼ HD Radio

What is HD Radio™ Technology and
how does it work?

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 broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the analog
broadcasts it already receives. Digital
broadcasts have better sound quality than
analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts
provide free, crystal clear audio. For more
information, and a guide to available radio
stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.

Benefits of HD Radio™ Technology

(Information)
The song title, artist name, album name
and genre will appear on the screen when
available by the radio station.
(Multicast)
On the FM radio frequency most digital
stations have “multiple” or supplemental
programs on each FM station.

Listening to HD Radio™ Technology

If icon turns on by selecting a radio
station which is an

broadcasting

station, the analog broadcast is switched to
an

broadcast automatically after

a few seconds and then received.
If the

broadcast is stopped and

changed to an analog broadcast, press
down to turn off .
