1. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATION 4. HD Radio™ TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION 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 with no static or distortion. For more information, and a guide to available radio stations and programming, refer to www.hdradio.com. For the Remote Touch operation method, see "SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS" on page 211. As a user works through the analog radio stations, (where applicable) the radio receiver will automatically tune from an analog signal to a digital signal within 10 seconds. An orange "HD)" logo indicator will be displayed on the screen when in digital. The "HD)" logo will first appear in a gray color indicating the station is indeed (an analog and) a digital station. Once the digital signal is acquired, the logo will change to a bright orange color. The song title, artist name and music genre will appear on the screen when available by the radio station.
