Internet Radio

Internet Radio – the basics

Before you can use your radio 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 located

on the back of the unit.

There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via

the internet as well ‘Podcasts’. Your radio 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 radio, or add them to a list of

your favorite stations which your radio can access. The number of

presets is limited (there are ten presets on the radio), but you can store

as many favorites 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 radio 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 DDR-62 radio connects to a radio station database which serves

many users in many countries. This means that there is a very wide

range of program 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.
