DIGITAL RADIO

WHAT IS DIGITAL RADIO

HD Radio™ technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio.

For additional information, visit

www.HDRadio.com

HD Radio Technology is manufactured
under license from iBiquity Digital
Corporation and foreign patents. HD Radio
and the HD and HD Radio logos are
proprietary trademarks of DTS. The vehicle
manufacturer and DTS are not responsible
for the content sent using HD Radio
technology. Content may be changed,
added or deleted at any time at the station
owner's discretion.

HOW DOES DIGITAL RADIO WORK

Your system has a special receiver that
allows it to receive digital broadcasts in
addition to analog broadcasts.

386

Audio System - Vehicles With: SYNC 3

HD1 signifies the main programming status
and is available in both analog and digital
broadcasts. Other multicast stations are
only available digitally and could contain
new or different content.

Note:

When the system first receives an

HD1 station, it plays the station in the analog
version until it verifies the station is an HD
Radio station. Then it shifts to the digital
version.

Note:

There is an audio mute delay when

switching to an HD2 or HD3 station because
the system has to reacquire and decode the
digital signal.

DIGITAL RADIO LIMITATIONS

If you are outside the reception area, the
system could not work.

If you are on the fringe of the reception
area, the station could mute due to weak
signal strength.

Note:

If you are listening to HD1, the system

changes back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again. If
you are listening to any other multicast
channels, the station mutes and stays
muted unless it is able to connect to the
digital signal again.

Depending on the station quality, you could
hear a slight sound change when the
station changes between analog and
digital audio.

You cannot access a saved HD station if
your vehicle is outside the station’s
reception area.

SWITCHING DIGITAL RADIO
RECEPTION ON AND OFF

Access the vehicle drawer on the
touchscreen.

3. Press

4. Switch

DIGITAL RADIO INDICATORS

HD Radio Indicator

The indicator appears when HD Radio is
on and you tune to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology.

E142616

The color of the indicator changes to
indicate the system status.

Gray indicates the system is acquiring a
digital station.

Orange indicates digital audio is playing.

Multicast Indicator

The multicast indicator appears if the
current station is broadcasting multiple
digital broadcasts. The highlighted
numbers indicate additional digital
channels available.

Note:

For stations that have more than one

HD multicast, the HD indicator and radio
text appears as a button. Press the button
to cycle through all of the HD stations on
that specific frequency.
