Listening to streaming services

This unit can be used to listen to content delivered by streaming services. The services 
available vary depending upon the unit and/or region. You can only listen to services

Streaming services supported by the unit are displayed in the MusicCast CONTROLLER 
screen. However, you can only listen to those operating locally (you cannot listen to 
services if you are outside of their service area). 
To listen to a streaming service, sign-in to your account for that service from the 
MusicCast CONTROLLER app and start using the service.

Streaming services can also be selected by pressing 

NET

will play.

Note

Some streaming services require users to apply and pay for an account. For more information, 
visit the website for the particular service.

Streaming services may change, be discontinued, or be terminated without notice.
