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. If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio technology, the HD Radio indicator lights up. When an HD Radio transmission is received, the “HD SPS” indicator appears or “HD Radio” appears on the dis- play.
•If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio technology, the station’s name will be displayed instead of the band and frequency.
•When music data is received, song title and artist name information will be displayed next to the HD indicator.
•If the current HD Radio station supports multicast channels, the currently selected multicast channel will be displayed to the right of the HD indicator.
