Audio codecs
Your radio supports a range of audio codecs which provide compatibility with a wide range of Internet Radio stations. These also allow users to stream
music from their computers or to play directly from USB and SD/SDHC fl ash memory devices.
Note that for any given audio codec, there are many streaming protocols available, and thus even if an Internet Radio station uses a supported format,
this does not guarantee that every such station will work with your radio. The radio stations database to which your radio connects is checked for
compatibility so that most stations should be playable without problems. Similarly when streaming media from a computer, while a codec may be
supported, there can be many subtle variations in formats, tagging schemes and protocols (even within UPnP). In general your radio will play the
supported formats with most common UPnP servers.
