(U.S.A. model only)

HD Radio Technology is a new technology that enables FM/AM 
radio stations to broadcast programs digitally. Digital broadcasting 
provides listeners with radically improved audio quality and 
reception as well as new data services. Furthermore, supplemental 
program services allow listeners to select from up to 8 HD Radio 
programs multicast on a single FM HD Radio channel. For further 
information on HD Radio Technology, visit

 

.

The unit is equipped with an HD Radio reception feature, facilitating 
CD quality FM broadcasts as well as analog FM stereo quality AM 
broadcasts. In addition, the unit can receive both audio and data 
(such as song titles, artist names, album titles and program types) 
from all HD Radio programs (HD1 to HD8).

• The unit is capable of receiving both hybrid and all-digital FM/AM radio stations. If 

you cannot search the desired all-digital HD Radio station by holding down 
TUNING, enter the frequency directly using the numeric keys.

• When the unit is in the monaural reception mode (p.90), you can tune into the 

analog part of a hybrid HD Radio station only.

■

You can select an audio program when the unit is tuned into an HD 
Radio station that provides multiple audio programs (up to 8).

You can also enter an audio program number (1 to 8) 
directly by using the numeric keys. For example, to select 
program 3, press 3 and then ENT (or just leave it).

■

You can switch the HD Radio information displayed on the front display.

Each time you press the key, the item switches.

About 3 seconds later, the information is displayed.

• Some audio programs may not provide information depending on the station 

or period of time.
