Scansonic R4 can play thousands of radio stations and podcasts from around the world though a
broadband Internet connection.
When you select Internet radio mode, Scansonic R4 contacts the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal to
get a list of stations, organised into different categories likeCountry, Most
popular and Genre.
Once you select a station, Scansonic R4 connects directly to that
station.
The portal also enables multiple lists of favourite stations that you can
personalise, for example Andy’s stations, Jo’s favourites, Talkshows. To
use the favourites feature, register your radio with the portal website as described earlier. If you have
several Frontier Silicon radios, you can register them all on the same account so that each radio has
access to your favourites lists. It is possible to add favourites either directly through Scansonic R4 or
through any computer with a web browser.
To enter Internet Radio mode, either press Mode until the display shows Internet Radio or select Menu
> Main menu > Internet Radio.
Note: The station list menu is provided from the Internet radio portal, so it is only accessible when Scan-
sonic R4 is connected to the Internet. Station lists and submenus may change from time to time.
There are several ways of selecting stations directly from the radio:
• Last listened
• Presets.
From the portal through the Menu > Station list > menu:
• Favourites lists
• Browse by Country, Genre, Most popular, Newest
• Search by keyword
• My added stations
If you are already listening to an Internet radio station, you can press Back rather than Menu to quickly
return to the last visited branch of the menu tree. For example, suppose you were listening to New
Orleans Radio through the browse facility as described later in the manual (BROWSE). Pressing Back
would return you to the Highlighted Blues stations menu. Pressing Back again would return you to the
Blues menu, and so on.
