About HD Radio™ Technology
HD Radio Technology allows CD-quality
digital broadcasting of your local AM and
FM radio stations. HD Radio broadcasts
can include multiple channels on the same
frequency, which is called multicasting. With
multicasting, you can receive up to eight
additional multicast channels: HD1~HD8.
With an HD Radio tuner connected, you
will receive HD Radio digital broadcasts
automatically when tuned to a station that
offers HD Radio Technology.

HD Radio (digital) broadcasting. You can
receive both analog and digital stations
with the unit.
