HD RadioInformation (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 which 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 this feature is enabled and you are tuned to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology, you may notice the following indicators on your
screen:
HD) logoblinks when a digital
station is being acquired and is solid
when digital audio is playing. When
this logo is available, you may also
see Title and Artist fields on-screen.
Multicast indicatorappears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital
broadcasts.
The numbers that are highlighted 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. Any additional
multicast stations (HD2–HD7) are only broadcast digitally.
Taggingallows you to save a song to download later. When
you are on an acquired HD Radio station, the TAG button is
available (provided the feature has been turned on). To use
the tag feature:
1. Press AM/FM > Options > TAG On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG.

to your portable music player (if supported) when it is connected to
the system. If your music player is connected at the time, the system
automatically transfers the tag to your player and a pop-up confirms
the transfer.
4. When you access iTuneswith your portable music player, the tags
appear to you to be reminded of the song. The system allows you to
tag up to approximately 100 songs. For a list of devices that support
tagging, refer to www.SYNCMyRide.com or www.syncmaroute.ca.

When you select: You can:

When you select: You can:
To save a multicast
station as a presetWhen the channel is active on-screen, press
and hold a memory preset slot on the right of
the screen until the sound returns. There is a
brief mute, then the sound returns signifying
it was saved. When recalling a HD2 or HD3
memory preset, there is a mute before the
digital audio is played as the system must
once again acquire the digital signal.
As with any saved radio station, you cannot
access the saved station if your vehicle is
outside the station’s reception area.
HD Radio Reception/Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
Reception areaIf you are listening to a multicast station and
you are on the fringe of the reception area,
the station may mute due to weak signal
strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system
switches back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the
possible HD2–HD7 multicast channels, the
station mutes and stay muted unless it is able
to connect to the digital signal again.
Station blendingWhen a station is first received (aside from
HD2–HD7 multicast stations), the system first
plays the station in the analog version and
then, if receiver verifies the station is an HD
Radio station, it shifts to the digital version.
Depending on the station quality, you may
hear a slight sound change when the station
changes from analog to digital. This shift from
analog to digital sound or digital back to
analog, is known as “blending”.
