technology
HD Radio technology allows CD-quality digital
broadcasting of your local AM and FM radio
stations. HD Radio broadcasts can include
multiple channels on the same frequency,
which is called multicasting. With multicasting,
you can receive up to eight additional
multicast channels: HD1–HD8.
With an HD Radio tuner connected, you
will receive HD Radio digital broadcasts
automatically when tuned to a station that
offers HD Radio technology.
NOTE: Not all FM or AM stations offer
HD Radio (digital) broadcasting. You can
receive both analog and digital stations
with the unit.
