Hd Radio Delay - HD Radio HD Jump User Manual

Using the HD Jump™ Radio
Note: If a multicast station saved to a preset is chosen when the multicast station is not available
or looses signal, the HD Jump radio will switch to the radio station's main broadcast station.

HD Radio Delay

To overcome the delay that digital systems inherently produce, HD Radio technology first uses a
station's analog signal to quickly tune to an AM or FM station. After approximately five seconds,
the audio will then blend from the station's analog to digital HD Radio signal. Normally, this
blending from analog to digital signals is very smooth. When the changeover is smooth, the radio
station has implemented the HD Radio broadcast correctly. However, if the station has not, you
may experience a skip in program content of several seconds. This is not a problem with your HD
Jump Radio. This is an HD Radio broadcaster's issue. This will be corrected by the station over
time. Today's analog programming is only present on the main channel. Should you tune directly
to an HD Radio station's digital multicast channel, the Jump HD radio will take approximately five
seconds to begin playing. This is normal operation.
