The available categories will depend on the level of service you have installed, but will include items like: My Favorites, Genres, Countries, New Stations, Popular Stations and Help.

To store station names in My Favorites, log on to the website shown in the first item of the Help Menu, and register the SMCWAA-G, using the ID number in the second item - which is also the MAC Address of the SMCWAA-G. You will need to register by entering your email address and a password of at least 6 characters. Then you can start to build up a set of My Favorites, sorted into user-defined Groups. This list can be automatically downloaded to your SMCWAA-G every day, or you can update it manually at any time (see Internet Radio on page 15).

More information about vTuner is available by following the other two items in the Help Menu.
