distinguish it from analog AM and FM radio
R selecting an HD Radio station
R displaying program information.
i Optional HD Radio ®
equipment is
required for the HD Radio operation
described here. A special subscription,
however, is not necessary.
i HD Radio features include
R digital broadcasts in the same waveband
as analog AM/FM; the analog AM/FM
stations remain at their current place on
the dial
R the ability to broadcast multiple program
streams over a single FM/AM frequency
(e. g. HD1, HD2, etc.)
R static-free, clear reception
R FM stations offer CD quality sound, AM
stations sound like analog FM stations
R a variety of data services, including
textbased information – artist name,
song title, etc. – shown on the display.
More information on HD Radio you will find

stations. Program content is subject to
change. Therefore, subprograms and
program info shown in illustrations and
descriptions contained in this manual may
differ from the subprograms and program
info delivered by the radio station.
Switching to HD Radio
i Since HD Radio stations are embedded in
the AM/FM waveband, HD Radio operation
is very similar to analog AM/FM radio
operation. In this chapter, only the
functions that differ from the normal FM
radio functions are described separately.
Analog AM/FM radio operation is described
in chapter “Radio” ( Y page 119).
You can de-activate HD Radio for the selected
frequency in the radio submenu.
XSelect Radio£HD Radio in the radio

hear digital radio and be able to switch to a
subprogram (-HD2).
