Listening to the HD Radio™ broadcast
(Only for KW-ADV794/KW-AVX740/KW-AVX640 )
Before operating, connect HD Radio tuner box, KT-HD300 (separately purchased) to the expansion port on the rear
of the unit.
What is HD Radio Technology?
HD Radio Technology can deliver high-quality digital sound—AM digital will have FM-like quality (in stereo) and FM
digital will have CD-like quality—with static-free and clear reception. Furthermore, stations can offer text and data,
such as artist names and song titles.
• When the HD Radio tuner box is connected, it can also receive conventional analog broadcasts.
• Many HD Radio stations also offer more than one channel of programming. This service is called multicasting.
• To find HD Radio stations in your area, visit www.hdradio.com <http://www.hdradio.com/>.
