HD RADIO
What is HD Radio Technology
And How Does It Work?
HD Radio Technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio.
Your radio product 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.

Listening To HD Radio
Technology
If HD Radio icon turns on by selecting a
radio station which is an HD Radio
broadcasting station, the analog
broadcast is switched to an HD Radio
broadcast automatically after a few
seconds and then received.
If the broadcast is stopped and
changed to an analog broadcast, press
down the HD Radio icon to turn off
the HD Radio.
Multicast channel selection (FM)
If multi-cast channels are available for
an HD Radio broadcast currently being
received, the multi-cast channel list is
displayed. Select the desired radio
station.
Note:
If an analog broadcast is received
once and is received while HD1 is
selected, the audio unit switches to the
station automatically.
When the HD Radio icon is
illuminated, there could be a noticeable
difference in sound quality and volume
when a change from digital to analog
signals occurs. If the sound quality and
volume become noticeably diminished
or cut off, select the HD Radio icon
to turnoff HD Radio. The Icon will not
illuminate.
Once an analog broadcast is
received when HD1 is selected from
the Favorite channels, it is switched to
HD Radio automatically. If the radio
reception conditions are poor, or HD is
off, switching to HD Radio broadcasts
is not possible.
When an HD specialty channel
(HD2 to HD8) is selected from the
Favorite channels, “Signal Lost” is
displayed and no audio is output until
HD Radio is received. If the radio
reception conditions are poor, “Signal
Lost” continues to be displayed.
If the HD Radio icon is not
illuminated, information such as song
titles of the station are received,
however, the audio output is analog.
