HD Radio technology is a new technology that enables FM and AM radio stations to broadcast programs digitally.
Digital broadcasting provides listeners with radically improved audio quality and reception as well as new data services.
Furthermore, supplemental program services allow listeners to select from up to 8 HD Radio programs multicast on a
single FM HD Radio channel. For further information on HD Radio technology, visit “http://www.ibiquity.com/”.
This unit is equipped with an HD Radio reception feature, facilitating CD quality FM broadcasts as well as analog FM
stereo quality AM broadcasts. In addition, this unit can receive both audio and data (such as song titles, artist names,
program types, and comments) from supplemental program services (HD1 to HD8).
• The tuning method for HD Radio stations are same as analog FM/AM radio stations; however, you cannot tune into a hybrid HD Radio
station while this unit is in the monaural tuning mode (page 47).
• This unit is capable of receiving both hybrid and all-digital HD Radio station signals. However, this unit may not automatically receive
all-digital FM station signals and the automatic tuning operation may stop. In this case, enter the frequency of the desired all-digital
FM HD Radio station directly by using the numeric buttons (
A
) (page 47).
Use this feature to select one of the 8 HD Radio audio
programs (HD1 to HD8) when the unit is in the tuner
mode. Each audio program contains data programs.
When the selected FM HD Radio station provides some
audio programs, currently selected audio program number
