HD Radio™
What is HD Radio™ Technology and how does it work?
HD Radio™ Technology is the digita l 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 guide to availabl e radio stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.
Benefits of HD Radio™ Technology
(Information)
The song title, artist name, album name will appear on the screen when available by the

On the FM radio frequen cy most digital stations have “m ultiple” or supplemental programs
on each FM station.
