About HD Radio
 technology
HD Radio technology allows CD-quality 
digital broadcasting of your local AM and 
FM radio stations. HD Radio broadcasts 
can include multiple channels on the same 
frequency, which is called multicasting. With 
multicasting, you can receive up to eight 
additional multicast channels: HD1–HD8. 
With an HD Radio tuner connected, you 
will receive HD Radio digital broadcasts 
automatically when tuned to a station that 
offers HD Radio technology. 
NOTE: Not all FM or AM stations offer 
HD Radio (digital) broadcasting. You can 
receive both analog and digital stations 
with the unit.

SRC] button on the front panel 
or remote control to switch to the RADIO

Press the [
BAND] button to change between 
three FM and one AM bands. Each band

Preset stations
Up to six stations on each band can be

pressing the corresponding preset button. 
Repeat for the remaining five presets on the 
current band and for presets on the other

NOTE: Multicast stations can be stored as 
presets, but the unit must be in Digital or 
Auto reception mode to receive them.

stations already stored in preset memory.
