When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you

can access the following functions:

crystal-clear audio and no static or

distortion. For more information, and a

programming, please visit

•

Scan allows you to hear a brief

sampling of all available stations. This

feature still works when HD Radio

reception is on, although it does not

scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may

see the HD logo appear if the station

has a digital broadcast.

When HD Radio is on and you tune to a

station broadcasting HD Radio technology,

you may notice the HD Radio logo on your

screen. When this logo is available, you

may also see Title and Artist fields

on-screen.

The multicast indicator appears in FM

mode (only) if the current station is

broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts.

The highlighted numbers signify available

digital channels where new or different

content is available. HD1 signifies the main

programming status and is available in

analog and digital broadcasts. Other

multicast stations (HD2 through HD7) are

only available digitally.

•

Memory presets allow you to save an

active channel as a memory preset.

Touch and hold a memory preset slot

until the sound returns. There is a brief

mute while the radio saves the station.

Sound returns when finished. When

switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory

preset, the sound mutes before the

digital audio plays, because the system

has to reacquire the digital signal.

Note: As with any saved radio station, you

cannot access the saved station if your

vehicle is outside the station’s reception

area.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting

Potential reception issues

Reception area

If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on

the fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due

to weak signal strength.

If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to

the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available

again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible

HD2-HD7 multicast channels, the station mutes and stays

muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal

again.

Station blending

When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-

HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the station in the

analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an

HD Radio station, it shifts to the digital version. Depending

on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change

when the station changes from analog to digital. Blending

is the shift from analog to digital sound or digital back to

analog sound.

Satellite Radio Reception Factors

Potential satellite radio reception issues

Antenna obstructions

Terrain

For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna

clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other

material as far away from the antenna as possible.

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway

overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and

thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

Station overload

When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating

tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and

the audio system may mute.

Satellite radio signal interfer- Your display may show ACQUIRING . . . to indicate the

ence interference and the audio system may mute.
