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
and AM as analog FM).
•
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 â„¢ 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 digi-
tal 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
Radioâ„¢
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves the
factory.
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 analog/digital and digital/
analog reception. If this happens, it may be desir-
able to switch HD off.
Carry out the following to activate or deactivate
HD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings.
2.
Press
Media and AM/FM Radio.
3.
Press
HD Radio AM or HD Radio FM to
activate/deactivate 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 AM/FM
receiver). Please note that when HD is switched
off, it will not be possible to tune in to sub-chan-
nels.
Note that if you activate or deactivate HD Radio
only the selected wavelength band is affected.
