HD Radio technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a special receiver that allows it to receive digital broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts, it already receives. Digital broadcasts provide a better sound quality than analog broadcasts with free, crystal-clear audio and no static or distortion. For more information, and a guide to available stations and programming, please visit: Website www.hdradio.com When HD Radio is on and you tune to a station broadcasting HD Radio technology, you may notice the following indicators on your screen: The HD logo is grey when acquiring a digital station, and then changes to orange when digital audio is playing. When this logo is available, you may also see Title and Artist fields on-screen. The multicast indicator appears in FM mode (only) if the current station is broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted numbers signify available digital channels where new or different content is available. HD1 signifies the main programming status and is available in analog and digital broadcasts. Other multicast stations (HD2 through HD7) are only available digitally. Note: There is also an additional feature for stations that have more than 1 HD multicast (For example, HD1 or HD2). The HD logo and Radio text appears as a button. Pressing this button allows you cycle through all of the HD stations on that specific frequency. For example, if you are on 101.1 and it has HD1, HD2, HD3, pressing the button repeatedly causes the radio to cycle through the HD stations in a cyclic increasing order. When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following functions: Action and description Message 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 the channel saves. 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. Presets Note: As with any station you save, you cannot access the saved station if your vehicle is outside the station ’s reception area. 485 F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing SYNC™ 3 (If Equipped)E142616
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 changes 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. Station blending In order to provide the best possible experience, use the contact form to report any station issues found while listening to a station broadcasting with HD Radio technology. Independent entities own and operate each station. These stations are responsible for ensuring all audio streams and data fields are accurate. Potential station issues Action Cause Issues No action required. This is a broadcast issue. This is poor time alignment by the radio broadcaster. Echo, stutter, skip or repeat in audio. Increase or decrease in audio volume. No action required. The recep- tion issue may clear up as you continue to drive. The radio is shifting between analog and digital audio. Sound fading or blending in and out. No action required. This is normal behavior. Wait until the audio is available. The digital multicast is not available until the HD Radio broadcast is decoded. Once decoded, the audio is available. There is an audio mute delay when selecting HD2 or HD3, multicast preset or Direct Tune. 486 F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing SYNC™ 3 (If Equipped)
