We're pleased that you've chosen a TerraTec product. Your iRadio is designed to give you simple, convenient access to thousands of Internet radio stations worldwide--and to audio content within your home network--via wired and wireless network connections! We would like to start by exciting your imagination a bit and introducing the central features of your new device. Access your media library! The device integrates into your existing network with ease using a wireless (WLAN or Wifi) or cable (Ethernet, LAN) connection. Simply add a media server to your network (you'll find out how later in this manual) and your complete collection of MP3 and WMA audio files will be available anywhere in your home. Always online. The NOXON iRadio is an ideal complement to your DSL or other broadband Internet connection. With a flat-rate connection, you can use the NOXON iRadio to enjoy the wide selection of radio stations on the Internet (regardless of whether you access the Internet via your desktop, laptop or router). Just listening to the radio is history! The iRadio is your key to completely new, active radio listening pleasure--with over 1,500 stations on the Internet! The days are over in which you were stuck with listening to the programming on a handful of decent FM stations in your "service area"--and the sometimes strange musical tastes of their program directors. No more waiting for programs featuring your favorite music to come on at odd times of day, and then having to put up with annoying commercials! And even then, it was rare to hear the sort of tunes you would put on your shelf at home--or the right sounds to match your momentary mood.

Your iRadio and the included vTuner premium service (more about that later) puts the vast and growing world of Internet radio at your fingertips. Each of the many presorted categories (rock, pop, hip hop, alternative, jazz, blues, classical and much more) can contain up to several hundred stations from around the world. The NOXON's capabilities go even further: learn languages with live training material from many different countries, and take acoustic journeys to the remote corners of the globe! International news stations have their ...
