OPERATION
English
HD Radio technology is a new technology that enables FM and AM radio stations to broadcast programs digitally.
Digital broadcasting provides listeners with radically improved audio quality and reception as well as new data services.
Furthermore, supplemental program services allow listeners to select from up to 8 HD Radio programs multicast on a
single FM HD Radio channel. For further information on HD Radio technology, visit “http://www.ibiguity.com/”.
This unit is equipped with an HD Radio reception feature, facilitating CD quality FM broadcasts as well as analog FM
stereo quality AM broadcasts. In addition, this unit can receive both audio and data (such as song titles, artist names,
program types, and comments) from supplemental program services (HD1 to HD8).

When the HD Radio signals include the audio signal flag data (“Neural”, etc.), the flag information appears in the “SIGNAL INFO”
screen (see page 46). We recommend that you select “SUR. DECODE” as the sound field program and activate the surround decoder
corresponding to the flag information (see page 80).
• The tuning method for HD Radio stations are same as analog FM/AM radio stations; however, if you tune into a hybrid HD Radio
station by using the manual tuning mode, this unit automatically selects the analog radio service. Use the automatic tuning mode,
preset tuning mode, or direct frequency tuning to tune into the desired HD Radio station (see pages 53 and 54).
• This unit is capable of receiving both hybrid and all-digital HD Radio station signals. However, this unit may not automatically receive
all-digital FM station signals and the automatic tuning operation may stop. In this case, enter the frequency of the desired all-digital
FM HD Radio station directly by using the numeric buttons (
6
) (see page 54).
Use this feature to select one of the 8 HD Radio audio
programs (HD1 to HD8) when the unit is in the tuner
mode. Each audio program contains data programs.
When the selected FM HD Radio station provides some
audio programs, currently selected audio program number
appears in the front panel display as follows.

broadcasts, while up to 8 audio programs (HD1 to HD8) are

• When reception for an audio program ceases, the HD
indicator
disappears from the front panel display and HD1 is
automatically selected after approximately 20 seconds.
• Some audio programs may not contain data programs
depending on the broadcasting station and the time period.
