8.6 Internet radio – a whole new world of radio!
In "Your new NOXON" (p. 5), we already introduced the impressive Internet radio capabilities of your iRa-
dio. The big advantage of the NOXON over the time-honoured way of listening to Internet radio via your
computer's web browser is that your iRadio can tap into the full variety of the Internet WITHOUT relying on
your computer—by connecting directly to the router that provides your Internet access.

Caution—transfer volume! Please keep in mind that constantly listening to Internet radio stations will
result in the transfer of an enormous data volume over the course of a month. Your contract with your Inter-
net service provider may be subject to a volume limit. Exceeding this limit can result in massive extra
charges. We therefore recommend using an Internet access plan without volume restrictions. On the other
hand, the actual bandwidth used varies greatly from one station to the next. As you already know from MP3
files, the bit rate is decisive for sound quality—a higher bit rate results in better sound, but also in a greater
data volume.
The radio station directory
The list of Internet radio stations, which is provided and maintained by an exclusive vTuner premium ser-
vice, is always kept up-to-date and continuously expanded. The service ensures that you always have a
fresh, reliable selection of stations despite the continuous changes in the Internet radio world. When you
access the Internet Radio menu, the iRadio retrieves the current version from the Internet, thus making sure
that you always have the latest version. For direct access to all available radio stations, press the station
button. Simply use the usual controls to navigate the pre-sorted station list. If you find something you like,
press the preset storage button and a number button
to
to store the station and access it by
pressing that number button in the future. Other options for managing your favourites are described later.
If the "---- empty ----" message appears unexpectedly when you
access the Internet Radio menu item, your NOXON seems not to be
connected to the Internet.
In this case, check your NOXON's network settings by running the
network wizard (Page 17).
The option to expand the selection of radio stations available to you online as well is described in the next
chapter (0), and it also serves as a very convenient way to edit your Favourites list on the iRadio!
