Visitors of the international broadcast show (IFA) taking place in Berlin from August 31 to September 5, 2007 will be able to marvel at TechniSat’s new 4,000 channel Internet radio receiver exhibited at the TechniSat stand in hall 1.1, booth 211.
InternetRadio 1 allows users to receive more than 4,000 Internet radio programs from 37 countries anywhere in the home without having to use a PC or a cable. InternetRadio 1 features a stylish design and is optionally available in the trendy colour combinations black-silver, black-titanium, black-platinum and black-red. It is equipped with a shimmering-blue LCD display and integrated, but detachable loudspeakers which provide an excellent sound quality.
Ideal connectivity
InternetRadio 1 has been designed for ideal connectivity, allowing the system to be connected to the home stereo system. Another impressive feature is the support of the UPnP standard (universal plug & play) for the manufacturer-neutral triggering of equipment via the network. With suitable cabling in place, ASX, M3U, MP3, WAV or WAX music files can easily be transmitted to InternetRadio 1 via the home network. This is an extremely useful feature for people trying to listen to the personal MP3 collection in any room of the home.
Foolproof operation
The device can easily be configured and operated! InternetRadio 1 can simply be connected to an existing router via LAN or WLAN. Thanks to its plug & play feature, the device is immediately ready for operation – without any complex installation. Settings are made via the supplied remote control. All radio stations can be comfortably arranged according to country or music type. Additional information such as title and artist of the currently played are displayed on the large display of InternetRadio 1.
