About HD Radio™ Technology
HD Radio technology allows CD-quality digital broadcasting of your local
AM and FM radio stations. HD Radio broadcasts can include multiple
channels on the same frequency, which is called multicasting. With
multicasting, you can receive up to eight additional multicast channels:
HD1~HD8.
With your VM8013HD radio, you will receive HD Radio digital broadcasts
automatically when tuned to a station that offers HD Radio technology.
NOTE: Not all FM or AM stations offer HD Radio (digital) broadcasting.
You can receive both analog and digital stations with the VM8013HD.
