Note
• Track information may not be displayed correctly depending on the station and audio contents.
Note
• “Internet Radio” is radio programming distributed over the internet. Numerous internet radio stations exist around the world, ranging in
size from small services run by individuals to large stations managed by commercial ground-based broadcasting companies. Ordinary
ground-based broadcasting is limited to the range of the radio wave, but Internet Radio allows reception of radio programs from around
the world, delivered through the Internet. On the other hand, depending on the status of the Internet connection, broadcast sounds may
sometimes be interrupted or garbled.
A broadband connection is recommended when listening to Internet Radio. Use of a 56K modem or ISDN connection may inhibit your
ability to fully appreciate the potential of Internet Radio.
Computer port numbers for Internet Radio may differ, depending on the station, so it is recommended to check your fi rewall settings.
The provision of lists of broadcasting stations by vTuner may be discontinued without notifi cation.
Broadcasting stations sometimes interrupt or discontinue broadcasts. In such cases, it may not be possible to receive broadcasts
from a station, even though it is published on a list of available stations.
The list of Internet Radio stations provided with this unit is based on the radio station database service vTuner. This database service
is edited and compiled for use with this unit.
• vTuner is an online contents service for Internet Radio. For more information about vTuner, consult the website at http://www.vtuner.

Troubleshooting
Problem Cause/Remedy
Can’t decompress fi rmware fi le (zip fi le) • When using Windows XP and later operating systems, a zip-fi le extractor is
furnished as a standard feature, allowing zip fi les to be treated as ordinary
folders. From the Pioneer website, store the downloaded fi rmware folder
(SMA2013NMP****.zip) on your computer. Open the folder and copy the
fi rmware fi le (SMA2013NMP****.fw) located inside the folder to your computer’s
desktop or other desired location.
• Mac OS X and later operating systems allow compressed zip fi les to be treated
as normal fi les. When you double click on the downloaded fi rmware zip fi le
(SMA2013NMP****.zip), a decompressed ordinary folder will be created in the
same place.
