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 broad-
casts (where available) in addi-
tion to the analog broadcasts it 
already receives. Digital broad-
casts have better sound quality 
than analog broadcasts as digi-
tal broadcasts provide free, 
crystal clear audio with no static 
or distortion. For more informa-
tion, and a guide to available 
radio stations and programming, 
refer to www.hdradio.com
.
HD Radio features included in 
Toyota radios:
 Digital Sound-
HD Radio broadcasts deliver 
crystal-clear, digital audio 
quality to listeners.
 HD2/HD3 Channels-
FM stations can provide addi-
tional digital only audio pro-
gramming with expanded 
content and format choices on  HD2/HD3 channels.
 PSD-
Program Service Data (PSD) 
gives you on-screen informa-
tion such as artist name and 
song title.
 Artist Experience-
Images related to the broad-
cast are displayed on the 
radio screen, such as album 
cover art and station logos.

■Experience

and digital volume is not properly 
aligned or the station is in ballgame 
mode.

out.

moment.
Action: This is normal behavior, 
wait until the digital signal returns. If 
out of the coverage area, seek a 
new station.
Audio mute delay when 
selecting an HD2/HD3 multi-
cast channel preset.

make the audio available. This 
takes up to 7 seconds.

wait for the audio  to become avail-
able.

match the present song
