HD Radio™
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the
DTS, Inc. 3
. They are the developer of a broad-
casting technology called IBOC or In Band On Channel, which refers to the method of trans-mitting a digital radio broadcast signal cen-tered on the same frequency as the FM sta-tion's present frequency.
Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broadcast (generic illustration)
NOTE
HD Radio volume may fade in and out at times due to coverage limitations.
The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid" since it is both analog and digital. Duringhybrid operation, receivers still continue toreceive the analog (non-digital) signal. HDRadio receivers incorporate both modes ofreception, where the receiver will automati-cally switch to the analog signal if the digitalsignal cannot be decoded or is lost by thereceiver. When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in the infotain-
ment system display. The symbol will be dis- played in different colors: Grayed-out symbol
: no HD Radio broad-
cast reception
White symbol
: the radio is actively receiv-
ing an HD broadcast
Orange symbol
: the radio is receiving an
HD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC can be found on DTS, Inc.'s website,www.dts.com.
Artist Experience ™A radio station's logo and album art can bedisplayed. If a station opts to provide thisinformation, it is broadcast once every 12minutes, which means that there may be adelay before the logo/album art appear on the screen. The radio can store 100 station logosso the next time the radio is tuned to the samestation, the logo will be displayed immedi-ately. Album art is synched with the artist thatyou are currently listening to.
Ball game modeThis feature means that a main FM station(HD1) will broadcast live events, where thecontent of the programming is more importantthan sound quality, in analog mode only tohelp prevent the delay between analog anddigital broadcasting. The HD Radio symbolwill be white during live broadcasts and "Live"will be displayed next to the symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting

Better sound (FM sounds near CD qual-ity).
Some FM frequencies offer a greaternumber of listening choices through multi-casting (consisting of a frequency's mainchannel and any sub-channels that mayalso be available on that particular fre-quency.)
When receiving a digital signal there is nomultipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crackling due to outside influences.

Certain stations only.

How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio and broadcasts of this type are availablein many areas of the United States. However,there are a few key differences:
Instead of transmitting one analogue sig-nal, stations send out a bundled signal –both analog and digital.
An HD Radio receiver can receive bothdigital and analog broadcasts. Dependingon the terrain and location of the vehicle(which will influence the signal strength),the receiver will determine which signal toreceive.

Activating and deactivating the HD Radio
™
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves the factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and driving through areas with weak HD signals(fringe areas), you may experience that theradio repeatedly switches between analog/digital and digital/analog reception. If this hap-pens, it may be desirable to switch HD off. Carry out the following to activate or deacti- vate HD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings.
2. Press
Media and FM Radio.
3. Press
HD Radio FM to activate/deacti-
vate the function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be unable to receive digital broadcasts but it willcontinue to function as a conventional radio(analog FM receiver). Please note that whenHD is switched off, it will not be possible totune in to sub-channels.

In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channelsoffering additional types of programming ormusic.
Sub-channels
Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels
If any sub-channels are available, they will lis- ted below the main channel on the screen. Inthis example, WILD-FM HD2 is a sub-chan-nel.

Limitations
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only)
: The main channel is the only chan-
nel that can receive in hybrid mode (bothdigital and analog). If a frequency has sub-channels, they are broadcast in digitalmode only. The main FM channel will bedisplayed as, for example, "WRIF-FMHD1". The sub-FM channels will be dis-played as"WRIF-FM HD2", "WRIF-FMHD3", etc.
Reception coverage area
: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, thereception coverage area in digital mode issomewhat more limited than the station'sanalog coverage area. Be aware that, likeall radio transmission technology, terrain,time of day, vegetation and buildings canhave a positive or negative effect on radioreception.
Analog to digital/digital to analogblending
: Analog to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-set threshold in the receiver. This will benoticeable in fringe areas (areas with weakreception) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from ana-logue to digital or digital to analogueoccurs, such as:
Volume increase or decrease
Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Mid-range/Treble cut or boost
Time alignment (Digital program mate-rial in extreme cases can be as muchas 8 seconds behind the analogue).This will noticeable as a "stuttering"effect.
The above items are dependant on thebroadcaster's equipment settings anddo not indicate a fault in the vehicle'sradio receiver or antenna systems .
