When the vehicle moves outside the digital broadcasting area (that is nar- rower than the analog broadcasting area due to the FCC output require- ments), the radio reception automati- cally changes from the digital signal to the analog signal. When the vehicle reenters the digital broadcasting area again, the radio reception automatically changes from the analog signal to the digital signal. When in a digital mode the Logo will be in orange on the radio display. . Depending on the broadcasting sta- tion, a condition such as a sound delay, echo effect or skipping sound may occur. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. . Depending on the broadcasting area, the digital signal may not be

received in an area where the analog signal can be properly received, or the system frequently switches the chan- nels between the digital and analog signals. However, this does not indi- cate a malfunction. this frequent switching between digital and analog causes annoyance, set the radio to the analog mode (HD Radio off mode) that provides the same radio broadcasting quality as a conventional radio.

& Satellite radio reception Satellite radio signals are best received in areas with a clear view of the open sky. In areas where there are tall buildings, trees, tunnels or other structures that may obstruct the signal of the satellites, there may be signal interruptions. Other circum- stances that may result loss include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill or driving on the lower level of a multi- tiered road or inside of a parking garage. To help reduce this condition, satellite radio providers have installed ground- based repeaters in heavily populated areas. However, you may still experience reception problems in some areas.

Satellite radio operation (if equipped)

To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to install the SUBARU genuine satellite receiver (optional equipment) and to enter into a contract. For details, please contact your SUBARU dealer.

& XMTM satellite radio (U.S.A.

only)

XMTM is a continental U.S. based satellite radio service, including music, news, sports, talk and children’s programming. XMTM provides digital quality audio and text information, including song title and artist name. A service fee is required to receive the XMTM service. For more information, contact XMTM at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM- RADIO (1-800-967-2346).

& Sirius satellite radio Sirius satellite radio allows the listener to experience digital sound quality and to have a greater variety of channels. Use of satellite radio (Sirius) requires a tuner, antenna and a service contract.

! XMTM satellite radio reception tips for antenna on the windshield (for U.S.A. only — if equipped)

For some models, the satellite radio antenna is fixed to the upper right hand corner of the windshield. The XMTM satellite radio receiver that is fitted to your vehicle receives the neces- sary signals from two specially designated satellites that are in a geostationary orbit over the equator. One satellite covers the east coast and the other covers the west coast. Both of their signals north. These signals are then relayed throughout the radio reception area by a network of ground repeater stations. The satellite radio signals are transmitted as “line of sight” signals. The line of sight

You may experience problems in receiving XMTM satellite radio signals in the follow- ing situations. . If you are driving northward in a coastal area Because the satellite radio antenna is located on the windshield, the signal comes from the south and may not be able to reach the antenna in some circumstances when you are driving north.

. If you drive under a bridge . If you are driving next to a tall vehicle (such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the signal . If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block the signal from the south . If you are driving on a mountain road where the southern direction is blocked by mountains

. If you are driving in a tunnel or a covered parking area . If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway

. If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (10 m or more), for example on a road that goes through a dense forest . The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the repeater station network.

of tuner

When you activate satellite radio, you should have your satellite radio tuner ID ready because each tuner is identified by its unique satellite radio tuner ID. The satellite radio ID will be needed when you activate satellite radio and receive satellite radio customer support. The satellite radio ID can be found on the audio display by tuning the channel to “0”. Turn the “TUNE/TRACK/CH” dial to select the satellite radio channel. NOTE For Sirius, change the display to an indication mode other than the channel number after performing the above operation.
