Optimal sound reproduction

Surround sound

The audio system is calibrated for optimal

sound reproduction through the use of digital

signal processing. This calibration takes into

account the speakers, amplifier, cabin acous-

tics, the seating position of the listener, etc., for

each combination of vehicle and audio system.

There is also dynamic calibration that takes

into account the setting of the volume control,

radio reception, and the vehicle's speed. The

sound settings described in this manual, such

as BASS, TREBLE, and Equalizer front…/

Equalizer rear… are only intended to enable

the user to adapt sound reproduction to his/her

personal preferences.

Surround sound settings are used to

balance sound levels throughout the

vehicle. Surround settings for the var-

ious sound sources are made sepa-

rately.

Not all cell phones are fully compatible with

the vehicle's Bluetooth system. A list of

compatible phones is available at you Volvo

retailer or at www.volvocars.us.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is only

Radio functions

The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"

since it is both analogue and digital. During

hybrid operation, receivers still continue to

receive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HD

radio receivers incorporate both modes of

reception, where the receiver will automatically

switch to the analogue signal if the digital signal

cannot be decoded or is lost by the receiver.

When you have tuned to an HD Radio station,

There may be a noticeable difference in

as:

10

Reception coverage area: Due to current

IBOC transmitter power limitations, the

reception coverage area in digital mode is

somewhat more limited than the station's

analogue coverage area. Please be aware

that as with any radio broadcast technol-

ogy, terrain, time of day, foliage level and

building location can have positive or neg-

ative effects on radio reception.

This will disable the radio's capability to receive

digital broadcasts but it will continue to func-

tion as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM

receiver. Please note that when HD is switched

off, it will not be possible to tune to sub-chan-

nels (see the following section for a more

detailed explanation of sub-channels).

broadcaster's equipment settings and do

not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio

receiver or antenna systems.

Sub-channels

Switching HD on or off

The factory setting for HD radio is on. However,

when driving through areas with weak HD sig-

nals (fringe areas), you may experience that the

radio repeatedly switches between analogue/

digital and digital/analogue reception. If this

happens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.

To do so:

1. Be sure the audio system is switched on

and is in AM or FM mode.

Radio functions

In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM

wavebands only) will also have sub-channels

offering additional types of programming or

music.

Listening to satellite radio

NOTE

The SiriusXM൅ satellite system consists of a

number of high elevation satellites in geosyn-

chronous orbit.

10

When the radio has gone into HD mode,

it may take several seconds before the

">" symbol (if the current frequency has

any sub-channels) is displayed to the

right of the frequency. Pressing the

arrow keys before the number is dis-

played will cause the radio to tune to the

next available radio station, not to the

current station's sub-channels.

•

In such cases, a number will be displayed to

the right of the frequency number indicating

that the currently tuned frequency has at least

one sub-channel. The "2" in the illustration indi-

cates that you are currently listening to the first

sub-channel on frequency 93.9.

NOTE

The digital signals from the SiriusXM൅

satellites are line-of-sight, which means

that physical obstructions such as

bridges, tunnels, etc, may temporarily

interfere with signal reception.

•

When you are no longer in broadcasting

range of the currently tuned sub-chan-

nel, No HD reception will be dis-

played. The radio will then be muted

and it will be necessary to tune to or

search for a new radio station.

Selecting sub-channels

To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press

the right arrow key on the center console or on

the steering wheel keypad. To go back to the

main channel, press the left arrow key. To go

to subchannel 2 (if available), press the right

arrow key.

Avoid any obstructions, such as metal-

lic objects transported on roof racks or

in a ski box, or other antennas that may

impede signals from the SiriusXM൅

satellites.

Sub-channels can also be stored as presets,

see page 252 for information on storing sta-

tions.

Selecting SiriusXM൅ radio mode

1. Press Power to switch on the audio system

(see page 252 for information on the stand-

ard radio functions).

If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main

channel, pressing the left arrow key will tune to

the next lower radio frequency.

If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it

may take up to 6 seconds before the channel

becomes audible. If you press this button while

you are out of digital range of the transmitter,

No HD reception will be displayed.
