Step 3 Understanding radio modes

Your radio has three radio modes: analog (FM), HD Radio, and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System).

The analog (FM) mode is the standard mode. The FM radio signal is an analog signal. When receiving an FM signal, the “FM” icon appears on the display.

The HD Radio mode is the new, digital mode. Many HD Radio stations have several sub-channels called “Multicast Channels.” When receiving an HD Radio signal, the “HD” icon and the channel number appear on the display.

RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) mode provides additional functionality to FM radio reception by transmitting encoded analog information with the FM radio signal. This signal is decoded by an RBDS receiver and can provide a range of informational features including the station’s name. The RBDS text is usually centered. When the text fills the display, it begins scrolling. When receiving an RBDS signal, the “RBDS” icon appears on the display.
