Listening to the radio
You can tune in to both conventional and HD Radio broadcasts.
What is HD Radio™ broadcasting?
HD Radio stations can deliver high-quality digital sound—AM digital will have FM-like sound
quality (in stereo) and FM digital will have CD-like sound quality—with static-free and clear
reception. Furthermore, stations can offer text and data, such as artist names and song titles.
• HD Radio tuners can also tune in to conventional analog broadcasts.
• Many HD Radio stations offer more than one channel of programming. This service is called
multicasting.
• To find HD Radio stations in your area, visit <http://www.hdradio.com/>.
