This station shows up on a list of stations (on the tv monitor) when i choose internet radio from the remote. I can search for stations either by searching nation/city/station name or manually bu searching with entering text. A third way is by logging to vtuner (radiomarantz.com from the pc), finding the station, storing it and then going back to the avr, choosing radiomarantz and playing the station already stored before. None of these work. I also unplugged the avr, and reset it but didnt fix it. The manual says it can play wma,mp3, mpeg-4 stations. I am not sure what is pandora. What concerns me is that this station shows up on the lists i mentioned and according to marantz only stations that can be reproduced show up. I dont know how the stations show up, i mean is there a platform these stations are registered? Do you know what is SHOUT?
Pandora is an Internet radio streaming service, that I don't use.
I have never heard of shout.
However from what you say, I would be certain you can not decode the codec the radio station is now using. This is a really common problem now. Even MPEG and mp3 etc evolve.
Your problem is that although it says you can receive the station, which you can, but you cant decode it, and therefore can not hear it.
I try and avoid as many third parties in my streaming mix as possible.
If you have a computer,
download VLC media player and play it from that. That will work for sure.
VLC is a wonderful media player and does not cost you anything.
The technical changes are coming thick and fast these days, and boxes like receivers etc are now hopeless for streaming.
In my view good computers are an essential part of home audio/AV systems, and for professional ones as well for that matter.
I designed and built the computers in my rig.
