menu “NET/USB” (vpage 17).
• The display can be switched between the artist name, track name,
album name.
• 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.
• “Server Full” or “Connection Down” is displayed if the station is
busy or not broadcasting.
• On the S-302, folder and file names can be displayed as titles. Any
characters that cannot be displayed are replaced with “ . (period)”.
