dard analog FM/AM radio broadcasting
as well as digital HD Radio
broadcasting.
HD Radio TM technology provides digital
and analog reception using existing FM
and AM broadcasting frequencies.

Currently, radio stations broadcasting an
HD Radio TM signal are operating in a
hybrid mode of both, analog and digital,
in order to reach both receivers. In both
modes, analog and digital, the broad-
casted program
same(except of multicasting, see below).
Eventually, as analog receivers are
replaced by digital ones, radio stations
may be able to turn off their analog
broadcasting and use only the digital
one.
Multicasting
HD Radio TM FM stations are able to
broadcast multiple
streams(channels) over a single FM fre-
quency. For example, a HD Radio
station can run a main channel of music
and a sub channel of news(or even two
different music channels) at one frequen-
cy.
Only the program content of the main
channel is also broadcasted analog.
TM FM/AM
HD Radio
To overcome the delay that digital sys-
tems inherently produce, HD Radio
technology first uses the audio signal of
the analog broadcasting when you tune
contents is the
to an AM station or to the main channel
of a FM station. After that, the system will
blend from analog to digital signal.
Normally, this blending is very smooth. If
you experience a skip in program content
of several seconds, the radio station has
not implemented HD Radio
ing correctly. This is not a problem with
your audio system.
digital program Due to the fact that sub channels are only
broadcasting digital, blending from analog
TM FM to digital signal is not possible if you tune
to a sub channel. In this case playback of
the sub channel starts after several sec-
onds, this is a normal function.
