Features
Built-in AM/FM tuner for HD Radio (IBOC
system*) broadcasts
Digital broadcasts can now be heard along with
conventional analog broadcasts thanks to the
incorporation of the IBOC system that adds digital
signals to the existing analog radio signals. As a
result, during digital reception AM broadcasts take
on a sound quality comparable to FM broadcasts,
and FM broadcasts have a sound quality on a par
with CDs. The station names, call signs, artists and
song titles can also be displayed.
* “IBOC” stands for In Band On Channel. It refers to
analog digital simulcast broadcasting that uses the
double sideband of the existing FM 400 kHz and
AM 40 kHz broadcast carrier frequencies.
MP3/WMA Playback from CD-R/RW
You can play your MP3/WMA (Windows Media
Audio) fi les as well as regular CDs.
With up to 10 to 12 times* the capacity of a
conventional CD, a single MP3/WMA-encoded disc
can keep you entertained throughout your entire
journey.

Today’s AM and FM radio is broadcast in analog,
which has lower audio quality and is fi lled with
static, hiss, pops and fades. Radio stations have
begun a transformation to the world of digital using
a new technology called HD Radio™. Today’s
analog signals and the new HD Radio digital signals
will be transmitted at the same time from AM and
FM stations. The radios you use today will continue
to function for years, however, new receivers
are needed to hear the HD Radio digital signals
broadcast from the stations.
Using these new receivers, you can pick up the
new HD Radio digital signals at the same place on
the dial (106.7 KROQ will be digital 106.7 KROQ
broadcasting in HD Radio, 710 WOR will be digital
710 WOR broadcasting in HD Radio). Your favorite
HD Radio digital station will be right where you left
it. Additionally, new HD Radio receivers will still
pick up stations broadcasting in analog, so you don’t
need two radios.
The benefi ts of digital far outweigh old analog
technology. HD Radio makes radio “fun” again. FM
digital will sound like a CD throughout the coverage
area, and AM digital will sound like today’s FM
throughout the coverage area, both without the
static, hiss, pops or fades that you’ve had to put up
with for almost a century.
While HD Radio will bring you pristine audio quality,
it will also provide data services*. Both AM and
FM HD Radio stations will transmit song and artist
title, traffi c updates, weather alerts, news reports
and much more. For more information, visit
www.hd-radio.com. Stay tuned!
* This unit supports text displays for the following
items;
station name, call sign, artist, song title.
What is HD Radio™?
HD Radio broadcasts can be enjoyed only in those areas in the United States where the broadcasts can
be received. This means that the HD Radio feature cannot be used outside the U.S. or in areas inside
the U.S. where these broadcasts cannot be received. (as of December 2003)
HD Radio is a trademark of iBiquity Digital
Corporation.
