* HD Jump -- The first HD Radio technology designed for use in both the
vehicle and at home. Visteon's HD Jump is a transportable receiver that

receiver to also be used with a home stereo. The HD Jump offers the full
spectrum of HD Radio features, including program associated data, such as
real-time song title, artist and album information, as well as
multicasting, where available. The clarity of HD Radio technology allows FM
stations to be enjoyed with CD quality sound and boosts AM quality up to
that of FM sound. More than 1,000 radio stations now broadcast HD Radio
signals in the U.S. with over 400 offering new formats on HD2 channels.
