INFORMATION (For U.S.A.)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

What is HD Radio Technology?
HD Radio Technology can deliver high-quality digital sound—AM digital will have FM-like
quality (in stereo) and FM digital will have CD-like quality—with static-free and clear reception.
Furthermore, stations can offer text and data, such as artist names and song titles.
• When the HD Radio tuner box is connected, it can also receive conventional analog broadcasts.
• Many HD Radio stations also offer more than one channel of programming. This service is called
multicasting.
