RADIO

AM/FM Radio

Your Subaru is equipped standard with AM/FM

radio which includes HD Radio™. HD Radio™

technology is the digital evolution of analog

AM/FM radio. Your radio has a special receiver

which allows it to receive digital broadcasts

(where available) in addition to the analog

broadcasts it already receives. Digital

broadcasts have better sound quality than

analog broadcasts, as digital broadcasts

provide free, crystal clear audio with no static

or distortion.

Visit www.hdradio.com for more

information and a guide to available radio

stations and programming.
