What is HD Radio™ broadcasting?
HD Radio stations can deliver high-quality digital sound—AM digital will have FM-like sound quality (in stereo) 
and FM digital will have CD-like sound quality—with static-free and clear reception. Furthermore, stations can 
offer text and data, such as artist names, song titles, and Program Service Data (PSD).
•  HD Radio tuners can also tune in to conventional analog broadcasts.
•  Many HD Radio stations offer more than one channel of programming. This service is called multicasting.
•  By using PSD, you can easily purchase the songs at iTunes Store.
•  To find HD Radio stations in your area, visit .

the buttons until “M” flashes on the display, then press it repeatedly.
•  When receiving an FM stereo broadcast with sufficient signal strength, the ST 
indicator lights up on the display.
•  When the TAG indicator lights up on the display, you can tag the song for your
