 Enjoy
Great Choice with More than 10,000 Radio Stations |
With the support
of more than 10,000 broadcast stations worldwide, users can
now listen to whatever catches their fancy. When they
connect the ASUS Internet Radio (AIR)
via a wireless or LAN (DHCP) connection,
the whole world opens up as they can choose music from any
genre from any corner of the globe. Whether it be Jazz,
classical, pop, rock, funk or dance music; or just tuning in
to local or overseas news, the world’s music and news will
be at their fingertips!
No
PC Required for Environmentally Conscious Operations
When desktops are used to listen to Internet radio, up to
300 Watt/hr of power consumption must be used; and if a
notebook is used for listening to Internet radio, 65 Watt/hr
is needed. However, with the AIR, it only takes a mere 8
Watt/hr of power consumption. This energy savings translates
into one of the most important concepts when we use
technological products – ensuring that the AIR is a product
that has environmental concerns in mind. |

Ideal
for Immigrants, Language Learners and Music Lovers |
| With such easy access to the
world’s radio stations, users can even learn different
languages of the world by listening in to the different
broadcasts from different countries. By simply listening to
these broadcasts, users can add to their language faculties
and increase their foreign language abilities. Additionally,
users can also tune in to their domestic broadcasts to keep
in touch with what’s happening at home when they are abroad. |

favorite stations has been easier. Besides this, the AIR can
add and update new radio stations – giving users the choice
to add in their favorite radio stations by entering the URLs

stations by means of downloading the station list from
servers automatically and using them to update to the latest
radio stations list! |

Built-in
Buffer function for Smoother Listening |
When listening to Internet
radio stations, stability of the Internet connection will
affect the quality of the listening pleasure. With a
built-in buffer function that radically improves the quality
of songs, users of the AIR will be able to choose between 3
options: 2 second, 4 second and 8 second buffers – allowing
them smooth radio listening even with lapses in the Internet
connection.
User
Attentive Design
Not only does the AIR provide a great variety of radio
stations to listen to, it also has a host of useful features
bundled along with it. One such feature of the AIR is the
fact that it can play MP3s from the user’s MP3 players. By
simply connecting the MP3 player to the AIR, users will be
able to listen to their MP3s through the AIR speakers.
Another useful feature that the AIR provides is GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time). When using the AIR for the first
time, users need only tune the time zone to localize the
correct hour, and the device will remember it and the
minutes will be synchronized through Network Time Protocol (NTP).
Additionally, the AIR has
8 built-in languages of English, German, French, Spanish,
Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese
for easy and user-friendly usage.
