HD Radio™ Technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your radio
product 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 with no static or distortion. For more information, and a guide to
available radio stations and programming, refer to www.hdradio.com
.
