Network/USB function overview

Internet radio
 Internet radio refers to radio broadcasts distributed
over the Internet. Internet radio stations from
around the world can be tuned in by accessing
vTuner web site.
 vTuner (http://www.vtuner.com) is a free internet
radio broadcast service provided by vTuner. You
can use vTuner without registration.
Note
• There are many Internet radio stations on the Internet,
and the quality of the programs they broadcast as well
as the bit rate of the tracks varies widely. Generally,
the higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality,
but depending on the communication lines and server
traffic, the music or audio signals being streamed may
be interrupted. Inversely, lower bit rates mean a lower
sound quality but less tendency for the sound to be
interrupted.
