! About HD Radio

technology (if

HD Radio

Technology is the digital

evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
radio product has a special receiver which
allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the analog
broadcasts it already receives. Digital
broadcasts have better sound quality than
analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts
provide free, crystal clear audio with no
static or distortion. For more information,
and a guide to available radio stations and
programming, refer to www.hdradio.com.

5-30

AM and FM broadcast sound quality is
now crystal clear, with AM sound quality
that virtually matches FM quality of the
past, and FM broadcasts that have near
CD-level sound quality.
