How to Use Zune HD Radio

The Zune HD allows you to play not only FM radio but high-definition (HD) radio as well. HD radio stations broadcast music in a clearer, sharper format, similar to HD television, but with audio only. Many radio stations are beginning to broadcast in both standard and HD. With a Zune HD, you can take advantage of both without the need to buy a special radio in addition to an MP3 player. If you have a Zune HD AV dock, you can also receive HD radio through your home stereo.
