HD Radio technology is a digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a special receiver that allows it to receive digital broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives. Digital broadcasts provide better sound quality than analog broadcasts, with free, crystal-clear sound and no static or distortion.
