HD Radio™ Technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
radio product has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts have better sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free, crystal clear audio with no static or distortion. For more
information, and a guide to available radio stations and programming, refer to
