Audio Controls (with 5.8” LCD screen)
HD RADIO
HD radio has a special receiver 
which allows it to receive digital 
broadcasts (where available)  
in addition to the analog 
broadcasts it already receives. 
Digital broadcasts have better 
sound quality than analog 
broadcasts as digital broadcasts 
provide free, crystal clear audio.
When the HD radio button is 
ON (illuminated), there could 
be a noticeable difference in 
sound quality and volume when 
a change from digital to analog 
signals occurs. If the sound 
quality and volume becomes 
noticeably diminished or cuts   
off, touch the HD button to turn 
OFF HD radio (not illuminated).
1     To set a channel, first select AM, 
FM1 or FM2. 
2   Tune to the desired station. 
3     Long-push any of the preset   
on-screen buttons. The 
reception frequency is 
programmed and displayed on 
the preset button.  4
    Repeat this operation for the other 
stations and bands you want to 
store. When receiving a programmed 
frequency, select AM, FM1, or FM2   
and touch the preset on-screen button. 
The station frequency will be displayed.  
AUDIO OPERATION  
USING VOICE
Audio operation and media selection   
can be done using voice. Push the   
“Talk” button, wait for a beep, then say 
a command in a clear, natural voice (not 
too fast or too slow). A list of available 
commands will be displayed on the 
screen, and if you do not say anything, 
the system will read the commands. 
Commands will only work when in the 
correct mode (Radio, CD, BT, USB, or 
Pandora). To change modes, push the 
“Talk” button and say “Change mode.” 
Some commands are:
Radio:  Seek up/down, Preset #
CD:  Play track #
B T:  Next/Previous folder
CD, USB, BT: Play, Repeat, Shuffle
CD, USB, BT, Pandora: Pause, Resume 
Pandora:  Skip song, Thumbs up/down
