Listening to Internet radio stations
Internet radio is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via 
the Internet. There are a large number of Internet radio 
stations broadcasting a variety of services from every corner 
of the world. Some are hosted, managed, and broadcast by 
private individuals while others are by the corresponding 
traditional terrestrial radio stations or radio networks. 
Whereas terrestrial, or OTA (over-the-air), radio stations are 
geographically restricted on the range of radio waves 
broadcast from a transmitter through the air, Internet radio 
stations are accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as 
there is a connection to the Internet, as services are not 
transmitted through the air but are delivered over the World 
Wide Web. On this receiver you can select Internet radio 
stations by genre as well as by region.
Depending on the Internet line conditions, the sound may not 
be smooth when playing Internet radio.
About list of Internet radio
The list of Internet radio stations on this receiver is created, 
edited, and managed by the vTuner database service 
exclusively for use with this receiver. For details about vTuner, 
see 
vTuner on page 51

Saving and retrieving Internet radio stations
You can easily save and retrieve saved Internet radio stations. 
See 
Playing back your favorite songs on page 45
 for more on 
this.
To listen to Internet radio stations, you must have high-
speed broadband Internet access. With a 56 K or ISDN 
modem, you may not enjoy the full benefits of Internet 
radio.
The port number varies depending on the Internet radio 
station. Check the firewall settings.
A list of Internet radio stations provided by the vTuner 
database service is subject to change or deletion without 
notice due to various reasons.
Broadcasts may be stopped or interrupted depending on

a radio station selected from the list of Internet radio 
stations.
