the allowed equipment list on your
access point.
Note: The radio has separate MAC
addresses for wired and wireless
networks
Insufficient Wi-Fi

If your radio can
connect to the
network successfully,
but is unable to play
particular stations
• The station is not broadcasting at
this time of the day (remember it
may be located in a different time
zone).
• The station has too many people
trying to attach to the radio station
server and the server capacity is
not large enough.
• The station has reached the
maximum allowed number of
simultaneous listeners.
• The link on the radio is out of date.
The update of the link is done
regularly. To get the updated list of
stations, please access from
Internet radio > Skytune. If case a
particular stream is still not
working, please contact us or
Skytune to report the case.
No
DAB/FM reception
• Please carry out “Reset to default”
on the radio and extend the
antenna.
• Move the radio close to the
window.
DAB/FM Radio
reception is poor
• Please check that the aerial is
extended for the maximum signal
strength and adjust the direction to
improve reception.
• Check that you do not have other
electrical equipment too close to
your radio, causing interference.
No sound
• Please check if the volume is
muted. Tune up the volume and
see.
• If that happens on a particular
internet radio station, please try
other channels and see if this is
isolated issue on that station.

Helpful Tips
1. If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
The Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via your
broadband connection, if there is a high error rate on your broadband
connection, or the connection is intermittent, then it will cause the Internet
Radio to pause until the connection is re-established and it has received
enough data to start playing again. If your Internet Radio keeps stopping,
please check the DSL modem to ensure that the Broadband line is not
suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are experiencing these
problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.
2. What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a
small amount of the stream before it starts playing. This is used to fill in any
gaps in the stream that may occur if the internet or the wireless network is
busy. The Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are
listening. If a stream gets blocked or experiences Internet congestion while
transferring it may stop/interfere with the quality of play. If this happens,
check your internet connection speed- it must be faster than the speed of
the streams.
3. My Radio is working but some stations cannot be played.
The problem may be due to one or more of the followings:
a. The radio station is no longer broadcasting.
b. The radio station has reached the maximum allowed number of
simultaneous listeners.
c. The radio station has changed the stream arrangement and the link is no
longer valid.
d. The radio station is not broadcasting at the time of the day (not all
stations are broadcasting 24 hours throughout the day).
e. The Internet connection between your Radio and the radio station server
is too slow or unstable to support the data rate of the broadcast.
