Owner's Manual

53-EN
The unit can receive HD Radio broadcasting signals based on digital
radio broadcast standards, in addition to analog radio broadcasts using
RBDS.
HD Radio broadcasting signals are broadcast in the service areas of the
current AM/ FM broadcasters where they provide digital audio
distribution and data services. This unit receives the above digital
broadcasts for your high-quality sound enjoyment.
Depending on the signal strength in TUNER mode, the unit will
automatically switch between digital signals if they can be received, and
analog radio using RBDS if digital signals cannot be received. For
details, please see “Switching between Digital and Analog,” “Forced
Analog Mode.”
• RBDS mode is only available during FM broadcast reception.
This unit is able to receive signals based on the terrestrial digital radio
broadcasting standard.
When current AM/FM broadcasters are transmitting digital audio and
data services, HD Radio broadcasting signals are on-the-air in their
service area. You can receive their digital broadcast and enjoy high
quality sound.
If there is no HD Radio broadcasting signal in the current area, after
10 seconds, this unit will switch to receive the RBDS Radio signal
automatically. However, the display is still HD Radio Technology mode
screen.
