Operation
This HD Radio™ receiver receives signals based on
the terrestrial digital radio broadcast standard. If there
are AM/FM broadcasters in your area transmitting
digital audio and data services, this receiver is capable of
identifying their digital signal. Any HD radio compatible
head unit is capable of playing back and displaying the high
quality digital audio as well as any data services (such as
artist and song title info). For operation details, refer to the
Owner’s Manual of the head unit.
The iTunes Tagging function on the new TUA-T550HD
allows you to save information on songs you heard being
broadcast by HD Radio stations. This information is
saved as a Tag stored in the receiver’s memory. These
stored Tags are transferred to a compatible iPod as soon
as it’s connected to the receiver. The next time this iPod is
connected to a computer, iTunes automatically presents the
songs in a new Tagged playlist so they can be previewed,
purchased, and then downloaded. iTunes Tagging is a great
way to discover new music and add it to your collection!
• iTunes Tagging requires iTunes 7.6 or later.
• Compatible with iPod with video, iPod nano
(3rd generation) and iPod classic.
• If an iPod not capable of Tagging is connected, a
message “Non-Tagging iPod” will appear on the
head unit. Tags will then be stored in the TUA-
T550HDs memory until a Tagging capable iPod
is connected and the head unit is in HD RadioTM
mode.
• If you connect an iPod which is not Tagging compat-
ible, you will see a message on the head unit “Not
Tagging Compatible.” Any Tags you set will be saved
to the TUA-T550HD memory, until a compatible
iPod is connected and the head unit is in HD Radio ™
mode. A message “Tag Count:XX” is shown.
