Thread: HD Radio on RX-V863

Hello all,

I have had this receiver for almost a year now and have just now gotten around to trying out the HD radio. I spent about two hours last night trying to get this to work. I'm stumped. I have been through the entire FM band and have not been able to locate a station with an HD signal. I have everything set according to the manual, but no secondary audio programs appear when scanning. Everything comes up as analog. I've tried this on manual, auto, preset, and every combination. I also do not see any kind of indicator on the display that shows as having an HD signal. In addition I have checked that using the setup menu signal display on the amp and also using the onscreen display on the tuner.

The nearest source is almost 25 miles away. My antenna is an RCA 33 element outdoor TV antenna on a twenty foot mast with a channel master preamp shared with the TV via coax and ahigh frequency splitter. Could it be a matter of the antenna? The preamp? Something I have not activated on the Yamaha? Or am I simply too far from the source to get the HD signal?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
