Delightful sound space thanks to system buildup

HD Radio tuner for the AM/FM built in

You can hear the digital broadcasting easily due to the
incorporation of the IBOC system. “IBOC” stands for In Band On
Channel. This system adds to the existing analog radio signals
by using broadcast carrier.

As a result, Sound quality of AM/FM broadcasting is greatly

improved (An AM is to an FM quality, an FM is to a CD quality).

The station names, call sign, artists and song titles can be
received and displayed on your unit.

*A special antenna is not necessary to tune into a HD Radio
broadcast station.

Full lineup of optional parts

An optional XM tuner allows you to receive the XM radio
service. A DVD changer instead of an XM tuner is also
connectable.
