Internet Radio
Internet Radio – the basics
Before you can use your radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is
necessary to have connected it to your computer network using either the
wireless (WiFi) connection or the wired Ethernet connection located on the
back of the unit.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the
internet as well ‘Podcasts’. Your radio provides several ways of searching for
broadcasts in order to make nding and choosing them easier. Once you
have found radio stations which you like, you may either store them as presets
within the radio, or add them to a list of your favorite stations which your radio
can access. The number of presets is limited (there are ten presets on the radio),
but you can store as many favorites as you like.
You may search for an internet radio station by Location. If you know the name
of the station and the country from which a station is broadcast this may be the
easiest method to nd a station. It is also a great way to experience radio from
other parts of the world. You may also search for an internet radio station by Genre.
If you prefer a particular type of music, Blues for example, you may search
for a radio station that broadcasts that type of music, and you can choose
from a list of Blues radio stations regardless of location, or taking location
into account.
If you know part of the name of an internet radio station, you can enter it into
the radio and it will search for stations that match that name. This can be
helpful if you are unsure of the location or genre of a particular station.
The radio connects to a radio station database which serves many users
in many countries. This means that there is a very wide range of program
content available. You can also search for stations which have been recently
added to those available (new stations) or you can search for the most popular.
