NOXON
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
NOXON. The big advantage of the NOXON over the time-honored way of listening to Internet radio via your
computer's web browser is that your NOXON 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 (RSDB – Radio Station Database)
The list of Internet radio stations stored in the RSDB (Radio Service Database) of your NOXON is provided
and maintained by an exclusive vTuner premium service as mentioned in the previous chapter. The service
ensures that you always have a fresh, reliable selection of stations despite the continuous changes in the
Internet radio world. Depending on the settings you selected in the configuration menu, the NOXON either
automatically contacts the RSDB for updates daily, or waits for you to manually launch an update. For direct
access to all available radio stations, press the
station button. Simply use the usual controls to navigate
the presorted 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 favorites are described later.
The NOXON will not have a station list until the first time you use it
for Internet radio reception. When starting it the first time, the
NOXON must download it from the vTuner premium service. A sub-
scription to this service is included with your NOXON.
The option to expand the selection of radio stations available to you online as well is described in the next
chapter (8.7.2), and it also serves as a very convenient way to edit your Favorites list on the NOXON!
