Introducing Internet radio

Before you can use your radio to listen to broadcasts via the internet, it is

necessary to have already connected your radio to your computer network

using either the WiFi connection or the wired Ethernet connection (RJ-45

socket) on the back of the radio. Please see page 9 for details.

There are literally many thousands of broadcasts available via the internet.

Your radio provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to

make finding and choosing broadcasts 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 favourite stations which your radio can

access. The number of presets is limited (there are five preset buttons on

the radio), but you can store as many favourites 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 see a list of 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 WM-202 radio connects to a radio station database which serves

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

of programme 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.
