Radio/HD Radio™/RBDS
The unit can receive HD Radio broadcasting signals based
on digital radio broadcast standards, in addition to analog
radio broadcasts using RBDS.
HD Radio broadcasting signals are broadcast in the service
areas of the current AM/ FM broadcasters where they
provide digital audio distribution and data services. This
unit receives the above digital broadcasts for your
high-quality sound enjoyment.
Depending on the signal strength in TUNER mode, the unit
will automatically switch between digital signals if they can
be received, and analog radio using RBDS if digital signals
cannot be received. For details, please see "Forced Analog
Mode. "
• RBDS mode is only available during FM broadcast reception.
This unit is able to receive signals based on the terrestrial
digital radio broadcasting standard.
When current AM/FM broadcasters are transmitting digital
audio and data services, HD Radio broadcasting signals are
on-the-air in their service area. You can receive their digital
broadcast and enjoy high quality sound.
If there is no HD Radio broadcasting signal in the current
area, after 15 seconds, this unit will switch to receive the
RBDS Radio signal automatically. However, the display is still
