4 Internet radio mode

R4 can play thousands of radio stations and pod-
casts from around the world though a broadband
Internet connection.
When you select Internet radio mode, R4 contacts
the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal to get a list
of stations, organized into different categories like
Country, Most popular and Genre.
Once you select a station, R4 connects directly to
that station.
The portal also enables multiple lists of favourite
stations that you can personalise, for example
Andy's stations, Jo's favourites, Talkshows. To
use the favourites feature, register your radio with
the portal website as described on page 29. If
you have several Frontier Silicon radios, you can
register them all on the same account so that each
radio has access to your favourite's lists. It is pos-
sible to add favourites either directly through R4 or
through any computer with a web browser.
To enter Internet Radio mode, either press Mode
until the display shows Internet Radio or select
Menu >Main menu > Internet Radio.
Note: The station list menu is provided from the
Internet radio portal, so it is only accessible when
46
R4 is connected to the Internet. Station lists and
submenus may change from time to time.
There are several ways of selecting stations.
Directly from the radio:

• Last listened

• Presets

From the portal through the Menu > Station list>
menu:
• Favourites lists
• Browse by Country, Genre, Most popular,
Newest
• Search by keyword
• My added stations
If you are already listening to an Internet radio
station, you can press Back rather than Menu
to quickly return to the last visited branch of the
menu tree. For example,
Suppose you were listening to New Orleans Radio
through the browse facility as Described in section
4.4 below. Pressing Back would return you to the
Highlighted Blues stations menu. Pressing Back
again would return you to the Blues menu, and so
on.
4.1 Last listened
When Internet radio mode restarts, the last-lis-
tened station is selected. To select another recent-
ly used station, select Menu > Last listened then
one of the stations listed. Most recent stations
appear at the top of the list.
4.2 Presets
Presets are stored in the radio and cannot be
accessed from other radios.
To store an Internet radio preset, press and hold
Preset until the display shows the Save preset
screen. Select one of the presets to save the cur-
rently playing station.
To select a preset, press Preset briefly, then
select one of the listed preset stations.
When a preset station is playing, it shows Pn (P1,
P2 etc) in the bottom of the screen.
Note: Operation of presets is identical for Internet
