•There are many Internet radio stations on the Internet, and the
quality of the programs they broadcast as well as the bit rate of the
tracks varies widely.
Generally, the higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but
depending on the communication lines and server traffic, the music
or audio signals being streamed may be interrupted. Inversely, lower
bit rates mean a lower sound quality but less tendency for the sound
to be interrupted.
•“Server Full” or “Connection Down”is displayed if the station is
busy or not broadcasting.
•The Internet radio station name appears on the display of this unit.
NOTE
The radio station database service may be suspended without notice.
