LINCOLN MKZ 2014 Owners Manual

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.
TA G allows you to save a song to
download later when you are on an
acquired HD Radio station and the
feature is on. To turn the feature on
and use it:
1. Press AM or FM > Options > TA G
Button > On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TA G .
3. The system automatically saves the song's information and
transfers it to your portable music
player (if supported) when you
connect it to the system. The
system automatically transfers the
tag to your player (if already
connected) and a pop-up confirms
the transfer. 4. When you access iTunes with your
portable music player, the tags
appear to you as a reminder. The
system allows you to tag up to
approximately 100 songs. For a list
of devices that support tagging,
see www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active,
you can access the following
functions:
• Scan allows you to hear a brief
sampling of all available stations.
This feature 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.
• Memory presets allow 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 digital audio plays,
because the system has to
reacquire the digital signal.
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 broadcast 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 digital 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 Radio 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 sound 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 audio system may mute.
