HD Radio technology is a new technology that enables FM and 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 “http://www.ibiquity.com/”.

stereo quality AM broadcasts. In addition, this unit can receive both audio and data (such as song titles, artist names, 
program types, and comments) from supplemental program services (HD1 to HD8).
