Features
HD Radio: HD
Radio is digital FM and AM broadcasting, allowing you to enjoy your same favorite FM and
AM stations with digital sound quality. The FM stations
have CD-quality sound and AM stations sound as good as today's analog FM
stations. In some cases, when reception is good, you can listen to programs in
stereo with the digital AM broadcast.
Tomorrow Radio Project: The
Tomorrow Radio Project, initiated in 2003 by National Public Radio (NPR),
developed the ability to use HD Radio technology to divide an analog signal into
two or more digital sub-channels, thus enabling stations to broadcast multiple
programs on one signal. NPR is offering five programmed music formats to
multicasting stations. The HR100TR tuner is capable of receiving the NPR
Multicast from participating stations. When available, the tuner can receive up
to 8 digital sub-channels.
Head Unit Compatibility: The
KTC-HR100TR
tuner can be controlled by most 2003 and up
SIRIUS-ready or HD Ready Kenwood receivers. When
controlled by a 3D MASK receiver, the KTC-HR100TR replaces the unit's internal
FM/AM tuner, simplifying source selection. The KTC-HR100TR is both digital and
analog, so a single tuner can receive all FM and AM stations. When
controlled by a compatible receiver without 3D MASK, you must manually select
the HD tuner as a separate source.

Receive Mode:
You can choose one of the following receive modes:
- Auto: analog
broadcasts and digital broadcasts are switched automatically. When both are
being transmitted, the digital broadcast will have priority.
- Digital:
receives digital broadcasts only
- Analog:
receives analog broadcasts only
Tuning Mode: The
KTC-HR100TR tuner has the
following three tuning modes: Auto seek, Preset station seek, and Manual.
Preset
Memory: You can store
18 FM and 6 AM stations in the receiver's preset memory.
Auto Memory Entry: This feature
selects stations with the strongest signals within the selected band and stores
them in order of their frequency.
Information Display: When
listening to HD Radio, you can cycle through the following information on the
receiver's display: station name, song title/artist name/album name/genre, and
frequency.
CD Changer Pass-Through:
The HD Radio tuner uses the CD changer input on
the Kenwood head unit. If you also want to use a CD changer, there is a CD
changer pass-through connection on the HD Radio tuner, so they can be daisy
chained together. If you wish to use 2 CD changers, you can connect them
together using the KCA-S220A 2-changer switch before connecting them to the
input on the HD Radio tuner.
Compatibility Note: The CD
changer pass-through connection is compatible with Kenwood CD changers
equipped with an O-N switch, plus 2003 changer models (e.g. KDC-C719,
KDC-C669) and newer changer models that do not have an O-N switch but use the
N protocol. In addition, the pass-through connection is compatible with
Kenwood Music Keg units loaded with Music Manager version 10.1, or higher. CD
changers that do not use the N protocol and do not have an O-N switch will not
work when connected to the pass-through connection. If you have a Music Keg
without Music Manager version 10.1, or higher, you may upgrade your unit with
a free firmware download available through Kenwood's website. If you
want to connect this tuner and a Kenwood CD changer that does not use the N
protocol and does not have an O-N switch to a compatible head unit, the
KCA-S220A (item 113KCAS220) 2-changer switch must be used. The CA-C1AUX
auxiliary input adaptor is not compatible with the changer pass-through port.
