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