HD Radio
What is HD Radio™ Technology and how does it work?
HD Radio™ Technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your radio product has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives. Digital broadcasts have better sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts provide free, crystal clear audio. For more information, and a guide to available radio stations and programming, please visit www.hdradio.com.
Benefits of HD Radio™ Technology
(Information)
The song title, artist name, album name and genre will appear on the screen when available by the radio station.
(Multicast)
On the FM radio frequency most digital stations have “multiple” or supplemental programs on each FM station.
Listening to HD Radio™ Technology
If 
icon turns on by selecting a radio station which is an 
broadcasting station, the analog broadcast is switched to an broadcast automatically after a few seconds and then received.
If the broadcast is stopped and changed to an analog broadcast, press down to turn off .
Multicast channel selection (FM)
If multi-cast channels are available for an broadcast currently being received, the multi-cast channel list is displayed. Select the desired radio station.
-
If an analog broadcast is received once and
is received while HD1 is selected, the audio unit switches to the station automatically. -
When the
icon is illuminated, there could be a noticeable difference in sound quality and volume when a change from digital to analog signals occurs. If the sound quality and volume become noticeably diminished or cut off, select the icon to turn off ( icon is not illuminated). -
Once an analog broadcast is received when HD1 is selected from the Favorite channels, it is switched to
automatically. If the radio reception conditions are poor, or HD is off, switching to broadcasts is not possible. -
When an HD specialty channel (HD2 to HD8) is selected from the Favorite channels, “Signal Lost” is displayed and no audio is output until
is received. If the radio reception conditions are poor, “Signal Lost” continues to be displayed. -
If the
icon is not illuminated, information such as song titles of the station are received, however, the audio output is analog.
iTunes Tagging (for Apple devices with USB use only)
By tagging a song currently being aired, the song can later be purchased from the iTunes Store. One hundred tags can be stored. A maximum of 100 tags (for 100 songs) can be stored for later downloading.
-
Select the
icon. The tag is stored in the audio unit. -
Connect the device via the vehicle's USB. Any stored tag(s) will be sent automatically to the connected device.
-
Once at home or after parking the vehicle safely, log onto the iTunes Store with your device. Your previously tagged song(s) can now be easily purchased.
-
Both AM and FM
can be used. -
Because iTunes tagging only supports purchases from the iTunes Store, direct downloading of music from the vehicle's audio unit is not possible.
-
If the available memory for the connected device is insufficient, the tag is not sent.
-
If an error occurs while the tag is being sent, reconnect the device.
Introduction
Bluetooth® Hands-Free outline
When a Bluetooth® device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth® unit via radio wave transmission, a call can be made or received by pressing the talk button, pick-up button, or hang-up button on the audio remote control switch, or by operating the center display. For example, even if a device (mobile phone) is in your coat pocket, a call can be made without taking the device (mobile phone) out and operating it directly.
Bluetooth® audio outline
When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth® communication function is paired to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable audio device from the vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio device to the vehicle's external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/stop the audio.
-
For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before pairing.
-
The communication range of a Bluetooth® equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft) or less.
-
Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetooth® is not connected.
-
For safety reasons, operation of the center display is disabled while the vehicle is being driven. However, items not displayed in gray can be operated using the commander switch while the vehicle is being driven.
Some Bluetooth® mobile devices are not compatible with the vehicle. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer, Mazda's call center or Web support center for information regarding Bluetooth® mobile device compatibility:
