Using the Network Audio Function
Internet radio function
Internet radio refers to radio programs broadcast over the
Internet.
There are many stations throughout the world broadcasting
Internet radio programs. These stations are of all sizes and types,
some run by individuals, others by ground wave broadcast
stations.
While ground wave radio stations can only be listened to within
the range in which the waves reach, Internet radio can be
listened to anywhere in the world.
The AVC-A11XV/A1XV is equipped with the following Internet
radio functions:
• Stations can be selected by genre and region.
• Up to 56 Internet radio stations can be preset.
• MP3 format Internet radio programs can be listened to.
• Your favorite radio stations can be registered by accessing the
exclusive DENON Internet radio URL using a computer’s
browser. (The AV amplifier automatically downloads the
registration settings (approximately once every other day).)
(This is managed separately for each unit, so a MAC address or
e-mail address must be registered.)
Exclusive URL : http://www.RadioDenon.com
Use the MAC address you used when you applied for the
amplifier’s upgrade.
