What is 3D Radio?
3D Radio is a radio that allows you to listen to what you want, when you want, where you want.  Even if you missed something, or if it was played on a different station, you can still listen.
The heart of 3D Radio is its continuous recording of several radio stations simultaneously.  This includes recording the station you are listening to, which 3D Radio plays back as it records.  If you want to hear something again, just jump back. 

How does 3D Radio do continuous recording?
3D Radio includes several radio tuners, so it can receive multiple radio stations at the same time.  Each of those tuners is always tuned to a different station. The incoming audio is digitized in real-time and is stored into memory.  At the same time, audio from just one of the stations is played back from the memory, so you can listen to one thing while recording others.
Different models of 3D Radio support different numbers preset radio stations –- one for each of your favorites – and one tuner is used for the station you are currently listening to.  The other tuners record your presets.  And one tuner records the station you listened to most recently that isn’t one of your presets.

What are 3D Radio’s features?
3D Radio has a lot of audio functions not available in standard radios.  For example:

  • Repeat:  Jump back a few seconds and listen to something again.
  • Play What I Missed:  After changing to one of the preset stations or to the previous station, skip back to hear what was playing before you started listening to the station.
  • Pause and Resume:  Pause your current radio station while you are doing something else, then return to the exact place where you paused to resume playback.
  • Skip Forward:  If you have previously paused or skipped backwards, you can skip forward, perhaps to skip over content you don't want to hear.
  • Turn-On/Skip-Back:  3D Radio continuously monitors all your favorite stations. So you can always jump back to hear the beginning of a song or show playing on those stations. 
  • Rewind or Fast-Forward:  Play back the audio at a higher speed, either in reverse or forward, with frequency compensation.
  • Cueing:  Play back, forward or reverse, at a slow speed to find the start or end of a particular program or song.
  • Scan:  Play a few seconds of each available station in sequence.  When you hear something you like, you can rewind to hear what you just missed.

Tell me more about 3D Radio’s recording features
3D can record radio content, which will be stored in 3D Radio’s memory for later playback.  You can tell it to start and stop recording at any time, or you can schedule a recording for a particular time and station.
Once you've recorded a song or any other radio content, you can send that it as an MP3 to your computer or move it to any other 3D Radio or MP3 player.
Another cool feature is "Parking Lot Moments.”  You may pull into the parking lot at work right in the middle of an engrossing radio show.  With this feature, simply tell 3D Radio to record the rest of the show, so you can listen to it when you get back in your car.
