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. 16 Technical Specification Model: WA-80 Power input: 5V 1A Power voltage: 100-240V~50/60Hz Wireless Network: IEEE802.11b/g/n Security Protocol: WEP/WPA/WPA2 Audio output power: 2.5W (RMS) Audio sockets: 3.5mm earphone jack, 3.5mm Line-out jack Unit Dimension: 174 x 92 x 100 mm (L x H x D) Remark: Specification may vary without notice Whats included in the box
