PRODUCT FEATURES

1. HD RadioTM Technology HD Radio technology is the most technological breakthrough to radio broadcasting since the introduction of FM radio more than forty-five years ago. HD Radio technology is the standard for digital FM and AM radio. HD Radio broadcasting offers both FM and AM listeners the selection, quality and interactive data services consumers expect from other digital technologies, and it's free of charge, all subscription-free.

2. HD Radio Advantages

• CD-quality sound.

• Static/hiss-free, crystal-clear reception.

• HD Radio receivers also gets traditional FM and AM analog broadcasts.

• Multicasting, which broadcasts multiple program streams over a single FM frequency

(103.5-1, 103.5-2, etc.), thereby increasing the amount and diversity of content selections.

• A variety of "data services" presented in text-based format, such as artist name, song

title, or weather alerts, etc. To find HD Radio stations in your area, please visit: www.hdradio.com. HD RadioTM Technology Manufactured Under License From iBiquity Digital Corporation. U.S. and Foreign Patents. The HD and HD Radio logos are proprietary trademarks of iBiquity Digital Corp.

3. iPod Docking

ART7 has a dock for your iPod on the top of the unit and charges your iPod when docked. The dock provides the latest connectivity, allowing playback for both music and video files. The dock is directly connected to the Composite output on ART7, so you can link ART7 to a televi-

sion for viewing movies from your iPod. You will see an iPod icon ( ) on the display to show that an iPod is connected to the ART7.

4. iTunes Tagging With the simple "tag" button on ART7, you can tag your favorite songs from your local FM HD

Radio station and save them whenever you see the TAG icon ( ) on the display. The ART7 can tag up to 100 songs, saving the song's info from your HD Radio receiver to your iPod. The songs will appear in a playlist title "Tagged" in iTunes the next time you sync your iPod to your computer. You can then choose to purchase and download the tagged songs from the Apple® iTunes Music Store.

HD Radio Station Notes

1. When a radio station is broadcasting an HD Radio signal, the HD icon ( ) will blink to indicate ART7 is acquiring the HD Radio signal. When the signal is acquired, the HD icon will stop blinking and appear on the display. Multicasting Note: Multicasting is a feature of HD Radio technology that enables stations to broadcast multiple streams of data on sub-channels of their main frequency. The multicast stations may contain other music formats, local traffic, weather and sports. These multicast stations are found "between" the stations already on the frequency band.

(Note: Multicast Radio Stations are accessed in the same manner as you would any station frequency using the Tune or Seek functions.)

2. HD Radio Multicast (FM Only): Besides offering static free and clear radio signals, HD Radio technology also allows FM radio stations to multicast. This allows radio stations to offer more than one programming channel or station (multicast) at a time using their existing frequency on the radio dial. Multicast Example: For example: If the main radio station is 103.5, then that same radio station may have station multicasts of 103.5-1, 103.5-2. The suffix 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 represents the stations multicast sub-channel. Position -1 is always the main station's program.

3. Not all HD Radio stations will broadcast multicast programs. Those that are multicasting will typically have 1 to 2 multicast programs at this time, with more being added all the time.

4. Unavailable Digital Signal/Loss of Digital Signal: If the ART7 incurs a loss of digital HD Radio signal, the radio mode will automatically change to analog radio mode. If a station's multicast service is interrupted while playing, the ART7 will switch to the main station program. If a multicast station saved to a preset is chosen when the multicast station is not available or loses signal, the ART7 will switch to the radio station's main broadcast station.

5. HD Radio Delay: To overcome the delay that digital systems inherently produce, HD Radio technology first uses a station's analog signal to quickly tune to an AM or FM station. After approximately five seconds, the audio will then blend from the station's analog to digital HD Radio signal. Normally, this blending from analog to digital signals is very smooth. When the changeover is smooth, the radio station has implemented the HD Radio broadcast correctly. However, if the station has not, you may experience a skip in program content of several seconds. This is not a problem with your ART7. This is an HD Radio broadcaster's issue. This will be corrected by the station over time. Today's analog programming is only present on the main channel. If you select a preset HD channel and tune directly to an HD Radio station's digital multicast channel, the ART7 will take approximately five seconds to begin playing. This is normal operation.
