To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store music files on the drive.
It will take considerably longer for the system
to index the files on the drive if it contains any-
thing other than compatible music files.

NOTE

The system supports removable media that
uses the USB 2.0 standard and the FAT32
file system and can index up to 500 folders
and a maximum of 64,000 files. The device
must have at least 256 Mb of memory.

MP3 player

Many MP3 players have a file indexing system
that is not supported by the vehicle's audio
system. In order to use an MP3 player, the sys-
tem must be set to USB Removable device/
Mass Storage Device.

iPod

An iPod

receives current and its battery is

charged through the connecting cord. How-
ever, if the iPod's battery is completely
drained, it should be recharged before the
iPod

is connected to the audio system.

NOTE

When an iPod

is used as a sound source,

the vehicle's audio system has a menu
structure similar to the one in the iPod

HD Radio

(U.S.

models only)

Introduction

Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio
broadcast

HD radio is a brand name registered by the
Ibiquity digital corporation

. They are the

developer of a broadcasting technology called
IBOC or In Band On Channel, which refers to
the method of transmitting a digital radio
broadcast signal centered on the same fre-
quency as the AM or FM station's present fre-
quency.

The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"
since it is both analogue and digital. During
hybrid operation, receivers still continue to
receive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HD
radio receivers incorporate both modes of
reception, where the receiver will automatically
switch to the analogue signal if the digital signal
cannot be decoded or is lost by the receiver.
When you have tuned to an HD Radio station,
the

symbol will appear in the audio sys-

tem display.

More information about HD radio and IBOC
can be found on Ibiquity's website,
www.hdradio.com and www.ibiquity.com.

Benefits of digital broadcasting

•

Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality
and AM as analogue FM).

•

Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-
ber of listening choices through “multicast-
ing” (consisting of a frequency's main
channel and any sub-channels that may
also be available on that particular fre-
quency. See also the section "Sub-chan-
nels" below).

•

When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/
crackling due to outside influences.

How HD broadcasting works

HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio
and broadcasts of this type are available in
many areas of the United States. However,
there are a few key differences:

•

Instead of transmitting one analogue sig-
nal, stations send out a bundled signal –
both analogue and digital.

•

An HD radio receiver can receive both dig-
ital and analogue broadcasts. Depending
on the terrain and location of the vehicle
(which will influence the signal strength),
the receiver will determine which signal to
receive.

Limitations

•

Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM
only): The main channel is the only channel
that can receive in hybrid mode (both dig-
ital and analogue). If a frequency has sub-
channels, they are broadcast in digital
mode only. The main FM channel will be
displayed as, for example, 93.9 WNYC
(Volvo uses the symbol > to indicate there
are sub-channels available) The sub-FM

HD Radio(TM) technology is manufactured under license from iBiquity Digital Corp. U.S. and Foreign Patents. HD Radio(TM) and the HD and HD Radio logos are proprietary trademarks of iBiquity
Digital Corp. HD Radio(TM) is only available in vehicles not equipped with the optional integrated CD changer.

Radio functions

246

channels will be displayed as 93.9 – 2
WNYC, 93.9 - 3 WNYC, etc.

•

Reception coverage area: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, the
reception coverage area in digital mode is
somewhat more limited than the station's
analogue coverage area. Please be aware
that as with any radio broadcast technol-
ogy, terrain, time of day, foliage level and
building location can have positive or neg-
ative effects on radio reception.

•

Analogue to digital/digital to analogue
blending: Analogue to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-
set threshold in the receiver. This will be
noticeable in fringe areas (areas with weak
reception) and is normal.

NOTE

There may be a noticeable difference in
sound quality when a change from analogue
to digital or digital to analogue occurs, such
as:

•

Volume increase or decrease

•

Equalizer settings, i.e. Bass/ Midrange/
Treble cut or boost

•

Time alignment (Digital program mate-
rial in extreme cases can be as much as
8 seconds behind the analogue). This
will noticeable as a "stuttering" effect.

The above items are dependant on the
broadcaster's equipment settings and do
not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio
receiver or antenna systems.

Switching HD on or off

The factory setting for HD radio is on. However,
when driving through areas with weak HD sig-
nals (fringe areas), you may experience that the
radio repeatedly switches between analogue/
digital and digital/analogue reception. If this
happens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.
To do so:

Be sure the audio system is switched on
and in AM or FM mode.

Press MENU in the center console control
panel.

Press ENTER to turn HD off (the X will dis-
appear from the box on the display screen).

This will disable the radio's capability to receive
digital broadcasts but it will continue to func-
tion as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM
receiver. Please note that when HD is switched
off, it will not be possible to tune to sub-chan-
nels (see the following section for a more
detailed explanation of sub-channels).

Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to reactivate HD
(an X will appear in the box on the display
screen).

Sub-channels

Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels

10 Audio

Radio functions

247

In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM
wavebands only) will also have sub-channels
offering additional types of programming or
music.

In such cases, the “>” symbol will be displayed
to the left of the frequency number and a num-
ber will be displayed to the right of the fre-
quency number indicating that the currently
tuned frequency has at least one sub-channel.
The "2" in the illustration indicates that you are
currently listening to the first sub-channel on
frequency 93.9.

Selecting sub-channels

To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press
the right arrow key on the center console or on
the steering wheel keypad. To go back to the
main channel, press the left arrow key. To go
to subchannel 2 (if available), press the right
arrow key.

If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main
channel, pressing the left arrow key will tune to
the next lower radio frequency.

NOTE

•

When the radio has gone into HD mode,
it may take several seconds before the
">" symbol (if the current frequency has
any sub-channels) is displayed to the
right of the frequency. Pressing the
arrow keys before the number is dis-
played will cause the radio to tune to the
next available radio station, not to the
current station's sub-channels.

•

When you are no longer in broadcasting
range of the currently tuned sub-chan-
nel,

No HD reception

will be dis-

played. The radio will then be muted
and it will be necessary to tune to or
search for a new radio station.

Sub-channels can also be stored as presets,
see page 243 for information on storing sta-
tions.

If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it
may take up to 6 seconds before the channel
becomes audible. If you press this button while
you are out of digital range of the transmitter,

No HD reception

will be displayed.

Listening to satellite radio

The Sirius satellite system consists of a number
of high elevation satellites in geosynchronous
orbit.

NOTE

•

The digital signals from the Sirius satel-
lites are line-of-sight, which means that
physical obstructions such as bridges,
tunnels, etc, may temporarily interfere
with signal reception.

•

Avoid any obstructions, such as metal-
lic objects transported on roof racks or
in a ski box, or other antennas that may
impede signals from the SIRIUS satel-
lites.

player, the player scans the disc's folders
before it begins playing the files. The length of

time that this takes depends on the quality of
the disc.

Navigating the disc and playing tracks

If a disc with audio files is in the CD player,
press ENTER to display a list of folders on the
disc.

Use the up and down arrows in the navigation
control (see the illustration on page 251) to
move among the folders on the disc. Audio files
have the

symbol and folders containing

these files have the

symbol. Press

ENTER to play a selected folder or a file.

When the music file has been played, the
player will continue to play the rest of the files
in the current folder. When all of the files in the
folder have been played, the player will auto-
matically go to the next folder and play the files
in it.

Press the left or right arrow key on the naviga-
tion control if the entire name of the current
track does not fit in the display.

pose.

Fast forward/back

Press and hold down the left or right arrows
keys in the menu navigation control (or the
