CQ-CB9900U 3 Features Built-in AM/FM tuner for HD Radio (IBOC system*) broadcasts Digital broadcasts can now be heard along with conventional analog broadcasts thanks to the incorporation of the IBOC system that adds digital signals to the existing analog radio signals. As a result, during digital reception AM broadcasts take on a sound quality comparable to FM broadcasts, and FM broadcasts have a sound quality on a par with CDs. The station names, call signs, artists and song titles can also be displayed. *"IBOC" stands for In Band On Channel. It refers to analog digital simulcast broadcasting that uses the double sideband of the existing FM 400 kHz and AM 40 kHz broadcast carrier frequencies. SQ7 (7 bands Sound Quality) SQ is a function that can call up various sound types at the touch of button in accordance with your listening music type. At SQ7, SQ presets 2 to 6 can also be finely adjusted as desired (page 32). What is HD RadioTM? Today's AM and FM radio is broadcast in analog, which has lower audio quality and is filled with static, hiss, pops and fades. Radio stations have begun a transformation to the world of digital using a new technology called HD RadioTM. Today's analog signals and the new HD Radio digital signals will be transmitted at the same time from AM and FM stations. The radios you use today will continue to function for years, however, new receivers are needed to hear the HD Radio digital signals broadcast from the stations. Using these new receivers, you can pick up the new HD Radio digital signals at the same place on the dial (106.7 KROQ will be digital 106.7 KROQ broadcasting in HD Radio, 710 WOR will be digital 710 WOR broadcasting in HD Radio). Your favorite HD Radio digital station will be right where you left it. Additionally, new HD Radio receivers will still pick up stations broadcasting in analog, so you don't need two radios. The benefits of digital far outweigh old analog technology. HD Radio makes radio "fun" again. FM digital will sound like a CD throughout the coverage area, and AM digital will sound like today's FM throughout the coverage area, both without the static, hiss, pops or fades that you've had to put up with for almost a century. While HD Radio will bring you pristine audio quality, it will also provide data services*. Both AM and FM HD Radio stations will transmit song and artist title, traffic updates, weather alerts, news reports and much more. For more information, visit www.hd-radio.com. Stay tuned!
