7. Internet radio settings
When connected to the Internet, the radio is logged into the Service vTuner service (see also: www.vtuner.com). This enables you to receive more than 15000 radio sta- tions from around the world. You can save up to 500 stations in a favourites list. You can connect the radio to the Internet, via an access point to a PC, in two ways:
- Wireless in “WLAN mode”: the radio’s Wi-Fi antenna receives the signals from your DSL router.
- By cable via the radio RJ45-LAN connection in “LAN Mode”, inasmuch as an Eth- ernet network is available. The PC does not need to be switched on for the radio to receive radio stations. NOTE!: The station list on your Internet radio is provided free of charge by the www.vTuner.com Internet service and is updated regularly. If a radio station is not available, this can be due to reasons on the part of the radio station operator. This is not, however, a device fault. When connecting to Internet radio stations, there may be temporary delays due to the high occurrence of requests. Try to set up a connection to the Internet service at a later time. 7.1. Network requirements The network must meet the following requirements for the device to function as a WLAN radio:
- The router used for the network must have a DHCP server function so it can au- tomatically assign the device a network IP address.
- If your router is configured in this way, you can connect your WLAN radio to the network without further action. 86955 DE FR NL EN ECommerce content final.indb 15086955 DE FR NL EN ECommerce content final.indb 150 12.05.2014 13:50:2612.05.2014 13:50:26151 of 180
Two network configurations are possible for the Internet radio: WLAN mode (wire- less) or LAN mode (with an Ethernet cable).
- If the Internet connection is to be set up using an Ethernet cable, go to the set- up wizard and select the connection type WIRED. You can manually change all settings later in the system settings.
- If you have a wireless 802.11a/b/g/n network, you can connect the Internet ra- dio to the Internet via Wi-Fi: On first use, you will need to select an access point (AP) and, if necessary, enter the network key. The radio will then always tune in to this AP automatically. A message will appear if the device is unable to find the AP.
9. Connecting to a power supply
Plug the mains cable supplied (model number YN36W-1200250VW) into the DC IN socket on the device. To switch on the power, switch on the radio using the On/Off switch at the back.
