SECTION 1: GETTING STARTED

Introduction

Your SoundBridge Radio makes listening to Internet radio as easy as listening to AM/FM radio with easy browsing of a variety of Internet radio stations and the ability to save your favorites with the press of a button. You can import your own station URL’s to hear over 10,000 stations from around the globe in every music or talk format. You can also stream your Mac or PC music libraries stored on any computer that’s connected to your Wi-Fi home network. At your bedside, SoundBridge Radio can gently wake you with your choice of music or radio station. A built-in light sensor dims the display when you turn off the lights.

SoundBridge Radio was created with an advanced speaker system designed by audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther. The result is a set of speakers and subwoofer that work together seamlessly to deliver unusually transparent and powerful acoustic performance not seen previously from a system of this size. Please note: If you choose to listen to highly compressed digital music (like low-bitrate MP3 files or Internet radio) you may find that the speaker system reveals the audio limitations in the source material quite clearly. This is not a flaw of the system, but rather a demonstration of the accurate audio reproduction possible with SoundBridge Radio. Higher-bitrate audio (192kbps or greater) using advanced codecs like AAC and WMA will sound very pleasing.
