Internet Radio - the basics

Before you can use your sound system 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 (RJ-45 socket) located on the back of the unit. Please see page 10 for details.

There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the Internet as well as 'Podcasts'. Your sound system provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to make ﬁnding and choosing them easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may either store them as presets within the sound system, or add them to a list of your favourite stations which your sound system can access. The number of presets is limited (there are ﬁve preset buttons on the radio), but you can store as many favourites 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 ﬁnd 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 sound system 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 STREAM 83i sound system connects to a radio station database which serves many users in many countries. This means that there is a very wide range of programme 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.
