Listening to HD Radio™ Stations
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.
For more information about HD Radio technology,
visit:
www.ibiquity.com
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
pages 19, 20). If the current AM or FM station supports
HD Radio technology, the HD Radio indicator lights up.
When an HD Radio transmission is received, a box
appears around the HD Radio indicator, and “HD”
appears in the right corner of the message area.
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 will be displayed next to the HD
indicator.
If the current HD Radio station supports multicast
channels, the currently selected multicast channel
will be displayed to the right of the HD indicator.
FM HD Radio stations can transmit multiple programs
on the same frequency by using what are called
multi-
cast channels.
