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. 518 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing SYNC™ 3 (If Equipped)
