stereo radio. Across the country, AM and FM radio stations are upgrading to digital HD
™
broadcasting, which the Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio HD is specially designed to receive.
In addition to greatly enhanced digital quality sound, HD Radio stations will soon broadcast multiple
channels and data simultaneously on their same, familiar position on the radio dial. The Recepter
Radio HD sorts it all out to bring you your favorite current programming, or new and expanding
choices – with a clarity you’ve never experienced before.
iBiquity Digital’s HD Radio technology will enhance both the AM and FM bands’ audio fidelity.
AM will sound more like FM does today, and FM will have CD-like audio quality. The static, hiss,
pops, and fades heard on today’s analog radios will be virtually eliminated, thus ensuring crystal-clear
reception. To learn more about HD Radio technology and find an HD Radio Station On-the-Air,
visit www.hdradio.com.
How HD Radio™works
1. Stations bundle both analog and digital audio
signals (with text data, such as artist and song
information, weather, traffic, and more).
2. The digital signal is compressed using iBiquity’s
HD Radio compression technology.
3. The combined analog and digital signals are
transmitted.
4. The most common form of interference, multi-
path distortion, occurs when part of a signal
bounces off an object and arrives at the receiver
at a different time than the main signal.
HD Radio receivers are designed to sort
through the reflected signals and reduce static,
hiss, pops, and fades.
5. The signal will be compatible with both HD
Radio receivers and analog radios.

The Recepter Radio®HD also has two independent wake-up alarms. Either alarm can be set to music
or tone. A large, easy-to-read LCD clearly presents the station, clock, and alarm/sleep status, while a
built-in sleep function lets the Radio play for up to 60 minutes before turning off automatically.
The Radio is fast and easy to use and set, since times and stations can be rapidly selected by
spinning a knob rather than repeatedly pressing buttons. And once you have stored your favorite
stations in memory, the tuning knob can be set to tune in only those stations.
The Recepter Radio HD also features an auxiliary input that allows the connection of any device with a
headphone output. Simply connect the device to the
