station even if the Genre Seek function is
used.

If a program in the selected genre is not
broadcast to a region, reception is not
possible even if the Genre Seek function
is used.



The Genre Seek function searches for
genre code (program type) which FM
analog broadcasts transmit. 
specialty programs (HD2-HD8) cannot
be searched because they are not FM
analog broadcasts.

If radio stations which are selected by
scanning using the Genre Seek function
are 

 broadcasting stations,

they are changed from analog
broadcasts to 

 broadcasts

after a few seconds if the reception
conditions are good. The genre is
displayed after the switch, however, the
genre for FM analog broadcasts may
differ.

HD Radio

What is HD Radio™ Technology and
how does it work?

HD Radio™ Technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
radio product has a special receiver which
allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the analog
broadcasts it already receives. Digital
broadcasts have better sound quality than
analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts
provide free, crystal clear audio. For more
information, and a guide to available radio
stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.

Benefits of HD Radio™ Technology

(Information)

The song title, artist name, album name
and genre will appear on the screen when
available by the radio station.

(Multicast)

On the FM radio frequency most digital
stations have “multiple” or supplemental
programs on each FM station.

Listening to HD Radio™ Technology

If   icon turns on by selecting a radio
station which is an 

 broadcasting

station, the analog broadcast is switched to
an 

 broadcast automatically after

a few seconds and then received.
If the 

 broadcast is stopped and

changed to an analog broadcast, press
down   to turn off  .
