connecting to the Internet

The CHR-F103 has part of the Gracenote® database stored in it*, so some title information can be obtained without connecting to the Internet.

Note, however, that the internal database may not contain title information for recently released CDs.

*: Information for approximately 350,000 titles selected from the Gracenote® database in April 2006 is stored in the CHR-F103.

¢Using the “Gracenote® music recognition

service”

You do not have to perform any operation in particular.

When a CD is inserted or when recording or playback of a CD begins, the CD’s text information is acquired automatically and displayed on the CHR-F103.

The CHR-F103’s Internet radio station list uses “vTuner”, a radio station database service. This database service is edited and prepared for the CHR-F103.
