HD Radio
What is HD Radio™ Technology and
how does it work?
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. For more
information, and a gui de to available radio
stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.
Benefits of HD Radio™ Technology
(Information)
The song title, artist name, album name
and genre will appear on the screen when
available by the radio station.
(Multicast)
On the FM radio frequency most digital
stations have “multiple” or supplemental
programs on each FM station.
Listening to HD Radio™ Technology
If
icon turns on by selecting a radio
station which is an
broadcasting
station, the analog broadcast is switched to
an
broadcast automatically after
a few seconds and then received.
If the
broadcast is stopped and
changed to an analog broadcast, press
down
to turn off .
