broadcasts it already receives. Digital
broadcasts have better sound quality than
analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts
provide free, crystal clear audio. For more

stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.

and genre will appear on the screen when

programs on each FM station.
Listening to HD Radio™ Technology

an

a few seconds and then received.
