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.
17

18
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.
