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

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.

The following table summarises the maximum supported bit-rates for the various audio formats that are playable on your radio. Higher rates may be

playable in some cases but performance of the product may be affected.
