Operation

This HD Radio™ receiver receives signals based on the terrestrial digital radio broadcast standard. If there are AM/FM broadcasters in your area transmitting digital audio and data services, this receiver is capable of identifying their digital signal. Any HD radio compatible head unit is capable of playing back and displaying the high quality digital audio as well as any data services (such as artist and song title info). For operation details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the head unit.

The iTunes Tagging function on the new TUA-T550HD allows you to save information on songs you heard being broadcast by HD Radio stations. This information is saved as a Tag stored in the receiver’s memory. These stored Tags are transferred to a compatible iPod as soon as it’s connected to the receiver. The next time this iPod is connected to a computer, iTunes automatically presents the songs in a new Tagged playlist so they can be previewed, purchased, and then downloaded. iTunes Tagging is a great way to discover new music and add it to your collection!

•iTunes Tagging requires iTunes 7.6 or later.

•Compatible with iPod with video, iPod nano (3rd generation) and iPod classic.

•If an iPod not capable of Tagging is connected, a message “Non-Tagging iPod” will appear on the head unit. Tags will then be stored in the TUA- T550HDs memory until a Tagging capable iPod is connected and the head unit is in HD RadioTM mode.

•If you connect an iPod which is not Tagging compat- ible, you will see a message on the head unit “Not Tagging Compatible.” Any Tags you set will be saved to the TUA-T550HD memory, until a compatible iPod is connected and the head unit is in HD Radio™ mode. A message “Tag Count:XX” is shown.
