Adding Internet Radio Stations - McIntosh MS750 Owner's Manual

• Although some stations will work over a Dialup Internet
Connection, a broadband Internet connection is recom-
mended.
• Due to the dynamic nature of the Internet, you may
experience periodic audio drop-outs which could be due
to many factors such as Internet access problems, busy
networks, etc...
• Internet Radio Stations are not hosted by McIntosh and
may not be available at all times. You can update your
Internet Radio Stations list by running Tune Stations.
• Cover art, song name, and artist name are displayed only
if the information is sent by the Internet Radio Station
broadcaster.

Adding Internet Radio Stations

The MS750 comes preloaded with several high quality
streaming Internet Radio Stations from around the world,
but that may not be enough for you, so the MS750 also al-
lows you to add your own Internet Radio Stations. Internet
Radio stations must conform to these specifications:
• Windows Media WMA or MPEG II layer 3 streams.
• Windows Media 9 or earlier.
To add your own Internet Radio Stations, you will need to
obtain the URL or Internet Link to the stream using your
PC. Assuming you have a valid URL for a station, follow
these steps to add your own Internet Radio Station to the
Radio Guide:
1. Make sure you are in the Radio source mode by press-
ing the RADIO push-button on the remote.
2. Press the OPTIONS push-button to display the Options
Menu. Refer to figure 25.
3. Select the New Station menu item.
4. Using the remote
or push-but-
tonboard, enter
information for
the new station
including: station
name, location,
URL, the bit rate
of the stream, the
genre, the stream
type (MP3 or
WMA), and the
number of chan-
nels (mono or
stereo).

Updating the Internet Radio Stations List
McIntosh makes every attempt to insure that the preloaded
Internet Radio Stations are alive and well, but due to the
dynamic nature of the Internet and the third parties who
actually serve up these radio streams, sometimes you will
not be able to play a station. The "Tune Stations" feature
allows you to download a list of the most recent Internet
Radio stations from McIntosh.
Note: Tune Stations WILL NOT erase any custom stations
you may have added, from your Radio Guide. It WILL
replace the McIntosh supplied stations with a fresh new
list.
If you want to replace the current Internet Radio Stations
with a new list of stations, follow these steps:
1. Make sure you are in the Radio source mode by press-
ing the RADIO push-button on the remote.
2. Press the OPTIONS push-button to display the Options
Menu. Refer to
figure 25.
3. Select the Tune
Stations menu
item.
4. Read the
WARNING
screen and select
OK to proceed.
5. The MS750 will
Connect to the
McIntosh server
and download
the latest Inter-
net Radio Sta-
tions.
When you are fin-
ished Tuning the Stations, the Radio Guide is displayed
showing the new McIntosh provided Internet Radio Sta-
tions and any user added stations.
