T
hank you for choosing the Boston Acoustics
®
Recepter Radio
®
HD
. We have designed this
product to provide rich, lifelike musical sound and simple operation in a compact, tabletop
stereo radio. Across the country, AM and FM radio stations are upgrading to digital HD
Radio
™
broadcasting, which the Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio HD is specially designed to receive.
In addition to greatly enhanced digital quality sound, HD Radio stations will soon broadcast multiple
channels and data simultaneously on their same, familiar position on the radio dial. The Recepter
Radio HD sorts it all out to bring you your favorite current programming, or new and expanding
choices – with a clarity you’ve never experienced before.
iBiquity Digital’s HD Radio technology will enhance both the AM and FM bands’ audio fidelity.
AM will sound more like FM does today, and FM will have CD-like audio quality. The static, hiss,
pops, and fades heard on today’s analog radios will be virtually eliminated, thus ensuring crystal-clear
reception. To learn more about HD Radio technology and find an HD Radio Station On-the-Air,

The Recepter Radio HD’s surprising performance is made possible by Boston Acoustics’ many years
of experience in designing and manufacturing high-performance audio equipment. The key to the
Radio’s sound is its Boston-designed wide-range driver. Optimized specifically for the Radio, it is
combined with a digitally equalized amplifier that uses proprietary BassTrac
®
circuitry for full, satisfying
bass even at low volume.
The result is smooth, natural response and room-filling sound that belies its small size. This outstanding
audio performance is coupled with an HD Radio AM/FM tuner with a 20 preset-station memory for
clear, distortion-free reception.

How HD Radio
™
works
1
. Stations bundle both analog and digital audio
signals (with text data, such as artist and song
information, weather, traffic, and more).
2
. The digital signal is compressed using iBiquity’s
HD Radio compression technology.
3
. The combined analog and digital signals are
transmitted.
4
. The most common form of interference, multi-
path distortion, occurs when part of a signal
bounces off an object and arrives at the receiver
at a different time than the main signal.
HD Radio receivers are designed to sort
through the reflected signals and reduce static,
hiss, pops, and fades.
5
. The signal will be compatible with both HD
Radio receivers and analog radios.
