About HD Radio
If the optional HD Radio tuner unit is connected,
terrestrial digital broadcasts can be received.
When terrestrial digital broadcasts are received,
the FM reception has the same sound quality as
a CD, and the AM reception has the same sound
quality as conventional FM sound. Depending on
the reception status, HD Radio may also be able
to receive analog broadcasts, which means
reception is still possible in regions with no digital
coverage.
There are both automatic and manual methods
(one of each) for storing stations in memory. The
main unit can store up to 24 stations in memory.
There are 6 stations for AM and 18 stations for
FM (6 each for FM1, FM2 and FM3) (initial
settings).
See "How to operate the tuner" on page 42 for
information on the following operations:
• Listening to the tuner
• Tuning to a station
• Entering stations into memory automatically
(The automatic preset mode: ASM)
• Manually setting stations into memory
• Preset station scan
During digital broadcast reception, the "DIGITAL"
message appears on the display.
