Audio SystemMulticast channel selection (FM)
If multi-cast channels are available for an
broadcast currently being
received, the multi-cast channel list is
displayed. Select the desired radio station. NOTE
If an analog broadcast is received once
and is received while HD1 is
selected, the audio unit switches to the
station automatically.
When the icon is illuminated, 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
become noticeably diminished or cut
off, select the
icon to turn off
( icon is not illuminated).
Once an analog broadcast is received
when HD1 is selected from the Favorite
channels, it is switched to
automatically. If the radio reception
conditions are poor, or HD is off,
switching to
broadcasts is
not possible.
When an HD specialty channel (HD2 to
HD8) is selected from the Favorite
channels, “Signal Lost” is displayed
and no audio is output until
is received. If the radio reception
conditions are poor, “Signal Lost”
continues to be displayed.
If the icon is not illuminated,
information such as song titles of the
station are received,
however, the audio output is analog. iTunes Tagging (for Apple devices with
USB use only)
By tagging a song currently being aired,
the song can later be purchased from
the iTunes Store. One hundred tags
can be stored. A maximum of 100 tags
(for 100 songs) can be stored for later
downloading.
1. Select the icon. The tag is stored in
the audio unit.
2. Connect the device via the vehicle's
USB. Any stored tag(s) will be sent
automatically to the connected device.
3. Once at home or after parking the
vehicle safely, log onto the iTunes
Store with your device. Your previously
tagged song(s) can now be easily
purchased.
NOTE
Both AM and FM can be
used.
Because iTunes tagging only supports
purchases from the iTunes Store, direct
downloading of music from the vehicle's
audio unit is not possible.
If the available memory for the
connected device is insufficient, the tag
is not sent.
If an error occurs while the tag is being
sent, reconnect the device.
