When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following
functions:
•
Scan
allows you to hear a brief sampling of all available stations.
This feature still works when HD Radio reception is on, although it
does not scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may see the HD logo
appear if the station has a digital broadcast.
•
Memory presets
allow you to save an active channel as a memory
preset. Touch and hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
There is a brief mute while the radio saves the station. Sound returns
when finished. When switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory preset, the
sound mutes before the digital audio plays, because the system has to
reacquire the digital signal.
•
Note:
As with any saved radio station, you cannot access the
saved station if your vehicle is outside the station’s reception area.
HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential Reception Issues
Reception area
If you are listening to a multicast 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 switches
back to the analog broadcast until the digital
broadcast is available again. However, if you are
listening to any of the possible HD2 through
HD7 multicast channels, the station mutes and
stays muted unless it is able to connect to the
digital signal again.
Station blending
When the system first receives a station (aside
from HD2-HD7 multicast stations), it first plays
the station in the analog version. Once the
receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio
station, it shifts to the digital version.
Depending on the station quality, you may hear
a slight sound change when the station changes
from analog to digital. Blending is the shift
from analog to digital sound or digital back to
analog sound.
