USING HD Radio ™

TECHNOLOGY
HD Radio ™

evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
radio product has a special receiver

quality than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free, crystal clear
audio with no static or distortion. For
more information, and a guide to avail-
able radio stations and programming,
refer to www.hdradio.com
.
HD Radio features included in Lexus
radios:
z Digital Sound  HD Radio broadcasts
deliver crystal-clear, digital audio quality
to listeners.
z HD2 /HD3 Channels  FM stations can
provide additional digital only audio pro-
gramming with expanded content and
format choices on HD2 /HD3 channels.
z PSD  Program Service Data (PSD)
gives you on-screen information such as
artist name and song title.
z iTunes Tagging  Listeners can tag
(store) songs they like for later review and
purchase through iTunes.
z Artist Experience  Images related to
the broadcast are displayed on the radio
screen, such as album cover art and sta-
tion logos.
