  • Page 8: Technical Information

    Technical Information Receiving HD Radio™ broadcasts: A broadcast with an HD Radio™ digital signal does not immediately start to play when you tune to the station's frequency. The receiver builds up a reserve of digital infor- mation before it starts playing the audio. This digital signal reserve insures the audio program isn't affected by tempo- rary drops in the strength or quality of the received signal. Once the digital signal starts to play, the radio will also show whether the station is broadcasting more than one program, called a "multicast". The "-1" after the frequency shows this is the first program in a multicast. The "-2" after the frequency shows this is the second program in a multicast.
