HD Radio

™

HD Radio is a brand name registered by the
DTS, Inc.

. They are the developer of a broad-

casting technology called IBOC or In Band On
Channel, which refers to the method of trans-
mitting a digital radio broadcast signal cen-
tered on the same frequency as the FM sta-
tion's present frequency.

Introduction

Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio

broadcast (generic illustration)

HD Radio volume may fade in and out at
times due to coverage limitations.

The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"
since it is both analog and digital. During
hybrid operation, receivers still continue to
receive the analog (non-digital) signal. HD
Radio receivers incorporate both modes of
reception, where the receiver will automati-
cally switch to the analog signal if the digital
signal cannot be decoded or is lost by the
receiver.

When you have tuned to an HD Radio station,
the

symbol will appear in the infotain-

ment system display. The symbol will be dis-
played in different colors:

•

Grayed-out symbol

: no HD Radio broad-

cast reception

•

White symbol

: the radio is actively receiv-

ing an HD broadcast

•

Orange symbol

: the radio is receiving an

HD broadcast with digital sound

More information about HD Radio and IBOC
can be found on DTS, Inc.'s website,
www.dts.com.

Artist Experience

™

A radio station's logo and album art can be
displayed. If a station opts to provide this
information, it is broadcast once every 12
minutes, which means that there may be a
delay before the logo/album art appear on the

screen. The radio can store 100 station logos
so the next time the radio is tuned to the same
station, the logo will be displayed immedi-
ately. Album art is synched with the artist that
you are currently listening to.

Ball game mode

This feature means that a main FM station
(HD1) will broadcast live events, where the
content of the programming is more important
than sound quality, in analog mode only to
help prevent the delay between analog and
digital broadcasting. The HD Radio symbol
will be white during live broadcasts and "Live"
will be displayed next to the symbol.

Benefits of digital broadcasting

•

Better sound (FM sounds near CD qual-
ity).

•

Some FM frequencies offer a greater
number of listening choices through multi-
casting (consisting of a frequency's main
channel and any sub-channels that may
also be available on that particular fre-
quency.)

•

When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/
crackling due to outside influences.

Certain stations only.

How HD Radio

™

Technology

broadcasting works

HD Radio works similarly to conventional
radio and broadcasts of this type are available
in many areas of the United States. However,
there are a few key differences:

•

Instead of transmitting one analog signal,
stations send out a bundled signal – both
analog and digital.

•

An HD Radio receiver can receive both
digital and analog broadcasts. Depending
on the terrain and location of the vehicle
(which will influence the signal strength),
the receiver will determine which signal to
receive.

•

•

Activating and deactivating the HD

Radio

™

HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves
the factory.

When listening to an HD Radio station and
driving through areas with weak HD signals
(fringe areas), you may experience that the
radio repeatedly switches between analog/
digital and digital/analog reception. If this hap-
pens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.

Carry out the following to activate or deacti-
vate HD Radio:

1. Drag down the top view and tap on

Settings

2. Press

Media

and

FM Radio

3. Press

HD Radio FM

to activate/deacti-

vate the function.

If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be
unable to receive digital broadcasts but it will
continue to function as a conventional radio
(analog FM receiver). Please note that when
HD is switched off, it will not be possible to
tune in to sub-channels.

Activating or deactivating HD Radio only
affects the currently selected waveband.

sub-channels

In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM
wavebands only) will also have sub-channels
offering additional types of programming or
music.

Sub-channels

Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels

If any sub-channels are available, they will lis-
ted below the main channel on the screen. In
this example, WILD-FM HD2 is a sub-chan-
nel.

Selecting sub-channels

To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), tap the
station on the screen or press the forward/
back arrow keys on the right-side steering
wheel keypad or below the screen.

Sub-channels can also be saved as radio
favorites.

If you tap a sub-channel favorite, it may take
up to

6 seconds

before the channel becomes

audible. If you tap a station while you are out
of digital range of the transmitter,

reception

will be displayed.

Limitations

•

Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM
only)

: The main channel is the only chan-

nel that can receive in hybrid mode (both
digital and analog). If a frequency has sub-
channels, they are broadcast in digital
mode only. The main FM channel will be
displayed as, for example, "WRIF-FM
HD1". The sub-FM channels will be dis-
played as"WRIF-FM HD2", "WRIF-FM
HD3", etc.

•

Reception coverage area

: Due to current

IBOC transmitter power limitations, the
reception coverage area in digital mode is
somewhat more limited than the station's
analog coverage area. Be aware that, like
all radio transmission technology, terrain,
time of day, vegetation and buildings can
have a positive or negative effect on radio
reception.

•

Analog to digital/digital to analog
blending

: Analog to digital blending will

occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-
set threshold in the receiver. This will be
noticeable in fringe areas (areas with weak
reception) and is normal.

There may be a noticeable difference in
sound quality when a change from ana-
logue to digital or digital to analogue
occurs, such as:

•

Volume increase or decrease

•

Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Mid-
range/Treble cut or boost

•

Time alignment (Digital program mate-
rial in extreme cases can be as much
as 8 seconds behind the analogue).
This will noticeable as a "stuttering"
effect.

The above items are dependant on the
broadcaster's equipment settings and
do not indicate a fault in the vehicle's
radio receiver or antenna systems
