. They are the developer of a broadcasting
technology called IBOC or In Band On Chan-

digital radio broadcast signal centered on the
same frequency as the FM station's present fre-

Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broad-
cast (generic illustration)
NOTE
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 analogue and digital. During
hybrid operation, receivers still continue to
receive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HD
Radio receivers incorporate both modes of
reception, where the receiver will automatically
switch to the analogue 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 infotainment sys-
tem display. The symbol will be displayed in dif-
ferent colors:
•
Grayed-out symbol: NoHD Radio broadcast
reception
•
White symbol: the radio is actively receiving
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.

radio is tuned to the same station, the logo will
