How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional
radio and broadcasts of this type are available
in many areas of the United States. However,
there are a few key differences:
Instead of transmitting one analogue sig-
•
nal, stations send out a bundled signal –
both analog and digital.
An HD Radio receiver can receive both
•
digital and analog broadcasts. Depending
on the terrain and location of the vehicle
(which will influence the signal strength),
the receiver will determine which signal to
receive.

Activating and deactivating the HD
Radio™
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves
the factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and
driving through areas with weak HD signals
(fringe areas), you may experience that the
radio repeatedly switches between analog/
digital and digital/analog reception. If this hap-
pens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.
Carry out the following to activate or deacti-
vate HD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings .
2. Press Media and AM/FM Radio
3. Press HD Radio AM HD Radio FM
or
activate/deactivate the function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be
unable to receive digital broadcasts but it will
continue to function as a conventional radio
(analog AM/FM receiver). Please note that
when HD is switched off, it will not be possi-
ble to tune in to sub-channels.
Activating or deactivating HD Radio only
affects the currently selected waveband, FM
or AM.
