! About HD Radio
NOTE
. HD Radio Technology is a hybrid
broadcasting system that employs di-
gital and analog signals.
. When the vehicle moves outside the
digital broadcasting area (that is nar-
rower than the analog broadcas ting
area due to the FCC output require-
ments), the radio reception automati-
cally changes from the digital signal to
the analog signal. When the vehicle
reenters the digital broadcasting area
again, the radio reception automatically
changes from the analog signal to the
digital signal. When in a digital mode
the
Logo will be in orange on the
radio display.
. Depending on the broadcasting sta-
tion, a condition such as a sound delay,
echo effect or skip ping sound may
occur. However, this does not indicate
a malfunction.
. Depending on the broad casting
area, the digital signal may not be
received in an area where the analog
signal can be properly received, or the
system frequently switches the chan-
nels between the digital and analog
signals. However, this does not indi-
cate a malfunction. If this frequent
switching between digital and analog
causes annoyance, set the radio to the
analog mode (HD Radio off mode) that
provides the same radio broadcasting
quality as a conventional radio.
