About HD Radio™
Technology
HD Radio Technology allows CD- quality digital
broadcasting of your local AM and FM radio
stations. HD Radio broadcasts can include
multiple channels on the same frequency, which
is called multicasting. With multicasting, you can
receive up to eight additional multicast
channels: HD1-HD8. With an HD Radio tuner
connected, you will receive HD Radio digital
broadcasts automatically when tuned to a
station that offers HD Radio
Technology.
Note:
• Not all FM or AM stations offer HD Radio
(digital) broadcasting. You can receive both
analog and digital stations with the unit.
