Your SPARC SHD-T750
Your SHD-T750 is a high-quality tabletop radio offering the most advanced radio
reception technology—HD Radio™ Technology.
Your SHD-T750 tunes both traditional analog AM/FM and new HD Radio digital
broadcasts. In digital mode, sound quality is improved, new broadcast streams
(stations) not available in analog are available, and advanced programming
information such as Artist and Song Title can be displayed. To find new digital
stations, go to www.hdradio.com/stations.
Primary (HD1) signals are received in both analog and digital. If the digital signal is
lost, the Radio will automatically blend to the analog signal and continue to play.
However, when receiving the new additional digital signals (HD2/HD3), there is no
analog signal: if the HD2/HD3 signal is lost, the Radio will mute to silence. If this
happens, you can wait for the signal to return or simply tune the Radio to another
station.
