About HD Radio™ Technology
HD Radio technology allows CD-quality digital broadcasting
of your local AM and FM radio stations. HD Radio broadcasts
can include multiple channels on the same frequency, which
is called multicasting. With multicasting, you can receive up
to eight additional multicast channels: HD1~HD8. With your
VM9512HD radio, you will receive HD Radio digital
broadcasts automatically when tuned to a station that offers
HD Radio technology.
