HD Radio

• What is HD Radio™ Technology and how does it work?

  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 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. For more information, and a guide to available radio stations and programming, please visit www.hdradio.com.

• Benefits of HD Radio™ Technology

  Information: The song title, artist name, album name and genre will appear on the screen when available by the radio station.

  Multicast: On the FM radio frequency most digital stations have “multiple” or supplemental programs on each FM station.

  If icon turns on by selecting a radio station which is an broadcasting station, the analog broadcast is switched to an broadcast automatically after a few seconds and then received.

  If the broadcast is stopped and changed to an analog broadcast, press down to turn off .

  If multi-cast channels are available for an broadcast currently being received, the multi-cast channel list is displayed. Select the desired radio station.

  2. Connect the device via the vehicle’s USB. Any stored tag(s) will be sent automatically to the connected device.

• If a program in the selected genre is not broadcast to a region, reception is not possible even if the Genre Seek function is used.
• The Genre Seek function searches for genre code (program type) which FM analog broadcasts transmit. specialty programs (HD2-HD8) cannot be searched because they are not FM analog broadcasts.
• If radio stations which are selected by scanning using the Genre Seek function are broadcasting stations, they are changed from analog broadcasts to   broadcdiffer.

HD Radio

• If an analog broadcast is received once and is received while HD1 is selected, the audio unit switches to the station automatically.

• 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)

• 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.
