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 DDR-62 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.
