NOTE
•
When the radio has gone into HD
mode, it may take several seconds
before the ">" symbol (if the current
frequency has any sub-channels) is
displayed to the left of the frequency.
Pressing and holding the arrow keys
for approximately 1 second before the
main-/sub-channel icon is displayed
will cause the radio to tune to the next
available radio station, not to the cur-
rent station's sub-channels.
•
When you are no longer in broadcast-
ing range of the currently tuned sub-
channel, No reception will be dis-
played. The radio will then be muted
and it will be necessary to tune to or
search for a new radio station.
Sub-channels can also be stored as presets,
see Preset radio stations (p. 36).
If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it
may take up to 6 seconds before the channel
becomes audible. If you press this button
while you are out of digital range of the trans-
No reception
mitter, will be displayed.
HD Radio™ - limitations
Certain factors may limit HD radio reception.
Limitations
•
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM
only): The main channel is the only chan-
nel that can receive in hybrid mode (both
digital and analogue). If a frequency has
sub-channels, they are broadcast in digi-
tal mode only. The main FM channel will
be displayed as, for example, 93.9 WNYC
(Volvo uses the symbol ">" to indicate
there are sub-channels available) The
sub-FM channels will be displayed as
93.9 – 2 WNYC, 93.9 - 3 WNYC, etc.
•
Reception coverage area: Due to cur-
rent IBOC transmitter power limitations,
the reception coverage area in digital
mode is somewhat more limited than the
station's analogue coverage area. Please
be aware that as with any radio broadcast
technology, terrain, time of day, foliage
level and building location can have posi-
tive or negative effects on radio recep-
tion.
•
Analogue to digital/digital to analogue
blending: Analogue to digital blending
will occur as the signal strength reaches a
preset threshold in the receiver. This will
be noticeable in fringe areas (areas with
weak reception) and is normal.
