HD RADIO
HD radio 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.
When the HD radio button
is ON (red), 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 becomes
noticeably diminished or cuts
off, select the HD button to
turn OFF HD radio (not red).
NOTE:
Push the TALK button and say "Help" at any time to hear a list of
available commands.
