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
