When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following functions:

Action and Description

Message

Allows you to hear a brief sampling of all available stations.
This feature still works when HD Radio reception is on,
although it does not scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may
see the HD logo appear if the station has a digital broadcast.

Scan

Allows you to save an active channel as a memory preset.
Touch and hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
There is a brief mute while the radio saves the station. Sound
returns when finished. When switching to an HD2 or HD3
memory preset, the sound mutes before the digital audio
plays, because the system has to reacquire the digital signal.

Memory presets

Note: As with any saved radio station, you cannot access the saved station if your vehicle
is outside the station’s reception area.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting

Potential reception issues

If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the
fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due to
weak signal strength.

Reception area

If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to the
analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7
multicast channels, the station mutes and stays muted unless
it is able to connect to the digital signal again.

When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-
HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the station in the analog
version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio
station, it shifts to the digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station
changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from
analog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.
