Listening to the Radio—Continued
HD Radio technology brings digital radio to conven-
tional analog AM and FM radio stations, with improved
sound quality, better reception, and new data services.
HD Radio technology provides CD-quality sound for
FM stations and FM-quality sound for AM stations. In
addition, FM HD Radio stations can transmit multiple
programs on the same frequency by using multicast
channels. Text data display incudes station name, song
title, artist name, and so on.

About HD Radio Stations
HD Radio stations broadcast on the same AM and FM
frequencies they’ve always used, and you can receive
them by tuning into your favorite station as normal (see
page 67). You can store them as presets just like AM and
FM stations (see page 69).
If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio tech-
nology, the HD indicator lights up.
While a digital HD Radio transmission is being received,
the DIGITAL indicator lights up. While an analog HD
Radio transmission is being received, the ANALOG
indicator lights up.
If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio
technology, the station’s name will be displayed
instead of the band and frequency.
When music data is received, song title and artist
name information is displayed.
If the current HD Radio station supports multicast
channels, the name of the currently selected multicast
channel will be displayed.
