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.
