FAQ
Why does my audio quality change after a few seconds on some
HD Radio stations?
HD Radio stations blend analog signals to digital HD Radio signals.
The blend is typically smooth, but in some cases, the audio quality
can take a few seconds to reach enhanced digital levels. This is not
an issue with your HD Radio receiver.
What can I do if I my audio is not clear or I don’t hear any audio?
If your radio audio isn’t clear or you don’t hear any audio, you may be
experiencing one of the following conditions:
Check all connections, including power and antenna.
Is the radio muted? If so, unmute the radio or turn up the volume.

Tuning A Station
1.
Press the Volume/Mode knob on the
HDX3
console or
MODE
on the
remote control to select either an
AM
or
FM
mode.
2.
Use the tuner buttons on the
HDX3
console or on the remote control
to select a station.
3.
To search for a station, press and hold the tuner buttons. When the
HDX3
recognizes an HD Radio channel, the HD Radio logo appears.
HD Radio Multicast Channels (FM Only)
In addition to digital-quality sound, some HD Radio broadcasters offer
multiple programs simultaneously using multicast channels on their
existing frequency.
If the station offers multicast programming, “-1” appears next to the
station frequency. Use the tuner buttons to select multicast channels.
Tuning up the frequency band will take you to that radio station’s next
subchannel, which would have a “-2” after its frequency.
Audio Delay In HD Radio Systems
Digital systems inherently produce an audio delay. The
HDX3
uses
a station’s analog signal to tune the station. After approximately 5
seconds, the analog audio blends to digital. The blend is typically
smooth, but if the station has not implemented their HD Radio
broadcast correctly, you may experience a skip. This is not a problem
with your radio. It is a broadcast implementation issue, which the
station should correct over time.
Only the main channel contains an analog signal. If you tune directly to
a station’s multicast channel, the audio will delay for approximately 5
seconds. This is normal operation.
Note
HD Radio broadcasts in the AM band may terminate at night due to
FCC regulations.

Is the radio in AUX mode? If so, your auxiliary device may not
be sending audio signals or may not be correctly connected.
Is anything plugged into the headphone jack? If so, unplug it.
Is the signal too weak? If so, tune to a stronger station or reposition
your radio and/or antenna.
If you are using an antenna other than the one supplied, make sure
the antenna supports FM reception. If the antenna uses an FM trap,
make sure the FM trap is off.
Note
If you are using an amplified antenna with adjustable gain,
turn down the gain all the way and adjust slowly upward.
