HD Radio
™ Information (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 that 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 HD Radio is on and you tune to a
station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
you may notice the following indicators on
your screen: The HD logo either blinks when acquiring a
digital station, and then stays solid when
digital audio is playing, or is grey when
acquiring a digital station, and then changes
to orange when digital audio is playing.
When this logo is available, you may also see
Title and Artist fields on-screen.
The multicast indicator appears in FM mode
(only) if the current station is broadcasting
multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted
numbers 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. Other multicast stations (HD2
through HD7) are only available digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to download
later when you are on an acquired HD Radio
station and the feature is on.

When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following functions:
Action and Description
Menu Item
Allows you to hear a brief sampling of all available stations. This feat\
ure still works when HD Radio
reception is on, although it does not scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may see the HD logo appear if the
station has a digital broadcast.
Scan
Allows you to save an active channel as a memory preset. Touch and hold a memory preset slot until the
sound returns. There is a brief mute while the radio saves the station. \
Sound returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory preset, the sound mutes before the dig\
ital audio plays, because
the system has to reacquire the digital signal.
Presets
Note: 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 and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
If 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.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to the analog broa\
dcast 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 stays muted unless it is able to connect to the digita\
l signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast \
stations), it first plays the station
in the analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD R\
adio 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. Blending is the shift from analog to digital sou\
nd or digital back to analog sound.
Station blending
In order to provide the best possible
experience, use the contact form to report
any station issues found while listening to a
station broadcasting with HD Radio
technology. Independent entities own and
operate each station. These stations are
responsible for ensuring all audio streams
and data fields are accurate.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage
and other materials as far away from the antenna as possible.
Antenna obstructions
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, \
parking garages, dense tree foliage
and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker
one and the audio system may mute.
Station overload
Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate the interference and the a\
udio system may mute.
