an eight second wait for the signal
to process and start playing. This is

signal strength may be weak or the
station is out of range. Verify proper
reception on another channel.
If listening to channel HD1 and the
signal is losing reception, the radio
will go back to the main non-HD

If listening to channels HD2 to
HD7 and the signal is losing
reception, the radio mutes until the
signal can be recovered or until the
station is changed.
Digital HD broadcasting signals are
weaker than the normal signal
strength of the analog station, so
HD listening may not deliver the
same range as non-HD station
