Listening to the Radio—Continued

Listening to HD Radio™ Stations

HD Radio technology brings digital radio to conven- tional analog AM and FM radio stations, with improved sound quality, better reception, and new data services. HD Radio technology provides CD-quality sound for FM stations and FM-quality sound for AM stations. In addition, FM HD Radio stations can transmit multiple programs on the same frequency by using multicast channels. Text data display incudes station name, song title, artist name, and so on.

About HD Radio Stations

HD Radio stations broadcast on the same AM and FM frequencies they’ve always used, and you can receive them by tuning into your favorite station as normal (see page 58). You can store them as presets just like AM and FM stations (see page 75).

If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio tech- nology, the HD indicator lights up.

While a digital HD Radio transmission is being received, the DIGITAL indicator lights up. While an analog HD Radio transmission is being received, the ANALOG indicator lights up.
