Listening to DIGITAL RADIO
radio III incudes the ability to receive Band
®
The Wave
III digital radio broadcasts, a technology that supports a
cleaner reproduction of broadcast audio, decreasing
certain audio noise sometimes heard on analog radios.
In addition to music and speech, digital audio
transmissions contain program information. This could
be a plot summary to a play, the name of the track
currently being played, E-mail addresses, up to the
minute sports results, or competition details.
When DIGITAL RADIO is selected, information about the
current station is displayed that is similar to the following
example:
Selected
source
Preset
Station information
number
To change how information is
displayed, see "Displaying sta-
tion information" on page 12
Note: The very first time you select DIGITAL RADIO,
"PLEASE WAIT SCANNING" is displayed for a few minutes
while the system scans for available digital radio stations.
Note: If you cannot receive one or more digital radio sta-
tions in your area you may need to install the external
antenna included with your system. See "Installing an
external antenna for DIGITAL RADIO" on page 16.

Storing digital radio station presets
You can store up to six DIGITAL RADIO
stations for quick recall using the Presets
buttons.
1. Tune to the station you want to save as a preset.
2. Press and hold one of the six Presets buttons until
you hear a double beep and the preset number and
station information appear on the display.
3. Press one of the Presets buttons to quickly tune to
a previously stored DIGITAL RADIO station.
Primary stations and secondary
services
Primary digital radio stations and secondary services are
tuned in the same manner. The difference between them
is in how they are broadcast.
Primary digital radio stations are similar to FM
broadcasts in that they generally broadcast the same
number of hours as FM. If a primary digital radio station
goes off-air while you are listening, or if signal strength
drops to zero, "UNAVAILABLE" is displayed.
Secondary services are digital broadcasts that are
associated with a primary digital radio station. A
secondary service may only broadcast periodically and
may broadcast different program material than the
primary digital radio station.
If a secondary service goes off-air while you are
listening, or if the signal strength drops to zero, "OFF
AIR" is displayed for two seconds. Then, the digital radio
tunes to the associated primary digital radio station.
When tuned to a primary digital radio station or
secondary service with a low signal, the display
alternates between "LOW SIGNAL" and the station
name. Refer to page 6 for information on extending the
power cord, or page 16 for installing an external
antenna.
