HD RADIO
HD radio 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.
When the HD radio button is ON (red), there could be 
a noticeable difference in  sound quality and volume  when a change from digital to analog signals occurs.  If the sound quality and 
volume becomes noticeably 
diminished or cuts off,  select the HD button to turn 
OFF HD radio (not red).
GRACENOTE
The Gracenote media database is used to improve  voice recognition of artist and album names with the Mazda Hands Free system. To make best use of the 
voice recognition, install the most recent database.

from www.MazdaUSA.com/USB. Insert the 
memory stick into the USB port.
 2  Go to System Settings in the infotainment system.

icon is displayed by going to  Bluetooth in Device 
settings. Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a 
certain amount of time before the icon is displayed.
