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 quality).
•
Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-
ber of listening choices through “multicast-
ing” (consisting of a frequency's main chan-
nel and any sub-channels that may also be
available on that particular frequency.)
•
When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crack-
ling due to outside influences.
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 analogue signal,
stations send out a bundled signal – both
analogue and digital.
•
An HD Radio receiver can receive both digi-
tal and analogue broadcasts. Depending on
the terrain and location of the vehicle (which
will influence the signal strength), the
receiver will determine which signal to
receive.

Switching HD Radio on and off
The factory setting for HD Radio is off.
Switching HD on or off
When listening to an HD Radio station and driv-
ing through areas with weak HD signals (fringe
areas), you may experience that the radio repeat-
edly switches between analogue/digital and digi-
tal/analogue reception. If this happens, it may be
desirable to switch HD off.
To do so:
1. Be sure the infotainment system is switched
on and in FM mode.
2. To access the settings menu from the center
display's Home view, pull down Top view and
tap
FM radio.
Go to Adjust settings for media.
3.
Tap the or
FM HD Radio box to select/
deselect this function.
This will disable the radio's capability to receive
digital broadcasts but it will continue to function
as a conventional (analogue) FM receiver. Please
note that when HD is switched off, it will not be
possible to tune to sub-channels (see the article
"HD Radio subchannels" for a more detailed
explanation of sub-channels).
Please note that this will only switch HD Radio
on or off (selecting or deselecting the function)
only affects the selected waveband.
