HD RADIO™ INFORMATION (IF AVAILABLE)
Note:HD Radio broadcasts are not available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
system has a special receiver that allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts, it already
receives. Digital broadcasts provide a better sound quality than analog
broadcasts with free, crystal-clear audio and no static or distortion. For
more information, and a guide to available stations and programming,
please visit www.hdradio.com.
When HD Radio is on and you tune to a station broadcasting HD Radio
technology, you may notice the HD Radio logo on your screen. When this
logo is available, you may also see Title and Artist fields on-screen.
The multicast indicator appears in FM mode (only) if the current station
is broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted numbers
signify available digital channels where new or different content is
available. HD1 signifies the main programming status and is available in
analog and digital broadcasts. Other multicast stations (HD2 through
HD7) are only available digitally.
