Limitations
•
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM
only)
: The main channel is the only chan-
nel that can receive in hybrid mode (both
digital and analog). If a frequency has sub-
channels, they are broadcast in digital
mode only. The main FM channel will be
displayed as, for example, "WRIF-FM
HD1". The sub-FM channels will be dis-
played as"WRIF-FM HD2", "WRIF-FM
HD3", etc.
•
Reception coverage area : Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, the
reception coverage area in digital mode is
somewhat more limited than the station's
analog coverage area. Be aware that, like
all radio transmission technology, terrain,
time of day, vegetation and buildings can
have a positive or negative effect on radio
reception.
•
Analog to digital/digital to analog
blending
: Analog to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-
set threshold in the receiver. This will be
noticeable in fringe areas (areas with weak
reception) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in
sound quality when a change from ana-
logue to digital or digital to analogue
occurs, such as:
•
Volume increase or decrease
•
Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Mid-
range/Treble cut or boost
•
Time alignment (Digital program mate-
rial in extreme cases can be as much
as 8 seconds behind the analogue).
This will noticeable as a "stuttering"
effect.
The above items are dependant on the
broadcaster's equipment settings and
do not indicate a fault in the vehicle's
radio receiver or antenna systems
.
