Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: About HD RadioTM technology (if equipped)

HD RadioTM 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 with no static or distortion. For more information, and a guide to available radio stations and programming, refer to www.hdradio.com.

AM and FM broadcast sound quality is now crystal clear, with AM sound quality that virtually matches FM quality of the past, and FM broadcasts that have near CD-level sound quality.
