Receiving HD Radio stations
When the radio is tuned to an HD Radio station, the HD Radio logo will
flash in the display, indicating that the signal is blending from analog to
digital. Once the receiver acquires the HD Radio signal, the HD Radio
logo will remain solid on the screen.
Receiving Multicast Stations
When the radio is tuned to an HD Radio station, it will determine that
one or more Multicast stations are available and “HD1+”, for example,
may appear on the display. “HD1” indicates the number of the current
multicast program and plus (+) means that additional HD Radio
programs are available. Rotate the Tuning control knob on the radio (or
press the Tuning up/down button on the remote control) to tune to HD2/
HD3 Multicast channel.
HD SEEK function
Using the HD Seek Up/Down button, the radio will seek to the next
available HD Radio station. This function will also scan to the Multicast
program if available.
Press and release the HD Seek Up/Down button will tune to the next
available HD Radio station of sufficient signal strength.
