Audio System

Multicast channel selection (FM)

If multi-cast channels are available for an 

 broadcast currently being 

received, the multi-cast channel list is 

displayed. Select the desired radio station.

NOTE



  If an analog broadcast is received once 

and 

 is received while HD1 is 

selected, the audio unit switches to the 

 station automatically.



  When the   icon is illuminated, there 

could be a noticeable difference in 

sound quality and volume when a 

change from digital to analog signals 

occurs. If the sound quality and volume 

become noticeably diminished or cut 
off, select the   icon to turn off 

 (   icon is not illuminated).



  Once an analog broadcast is received 

when HD1 is selected from the Favorite 

channels, it is switched to 

automatically. If the radio reception 

conditions are poor, or HD is off, 

switching to 

 broadcasts is 

not possible. 



  When an HD specialty channel (HD2 to 

HD8) is selected from the Favorite 

channels, “Signal Lost” is displayed 

and no audio is output until 

is received. If the radio reception 

conditions are poor, “Signal Lost” 

continues to be displayed.



  If the   icon is not illuminated, 

information such as song titles of the 

 station are received, 

however, the audio output is analog. 

iTunes Tagging (for Apple devices with 

USB use only)

By tagging a song currently being aired, 

the song can be easily purchased from the 

iTunes Store. Up to 100 tags can be stored.

1.  Select the   icon. The tag is stored in 

the audio unit.

2.  Connect the device via USB. The 

tag is sent to the connected device 

automatically.

3.  Synchronize the device with iTunes. 

The tagged song can now be purchased 

from the iTunes Store.

NOTE



  Both AM and FM 

 can be 

used.



  Because iTunes Tagging only supports 

purchasing from the iTunes Store, direct 

downloading from the equipped vehicle 

audio is not possible.



  If the available memory for the 

connected device is insufficient, the tag 

is not sent.



  If an error occurs while the tag is being 

sent, reconnect the device.
