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.

On the AVR-3808CI, folder and file names can be displayed as titles. Any characters that cannot be displayed are replaced with “ . (period)”.
