So I would get the info from this site, right? Thanks. I'll look into it.


You sign on to Pandora on the internet however your Sony Bluray player must have WIFI.

WOW! How did you find that? I've never seen this before. If it actually does everything it says it does there couldn't be anything better for unlimited music. It's even Class D digital audio power to the speakers!

I'm not sure how I found it, but I think a comment by someone here got me looking at Internet radios, something I didn't know existed. As one owner said, the radio doesn't have fantastic sound - with a 3" speaker - but it connects to a home system, so that makes up for it. Strangely, turning the volume all the way down on the radio kills the sound from the home system. It is possible, however, to turn the radio's sound low enough that I can't hear it, and the home system still provides good sound.

It uses two RCA connections for output via a 1/8"(?) input plug to a home system, etc.

I could have driven into town and gotten it from Best Buy, but I was willing to wait two days to get it from Amazon, yet it arrived the next day.

I assume the 1/8" plug is a headphone jack and headphone jacks are always variable output with the volume control. The two RCA thing adapts to home system standard.

I should have explained that better. There are two RCA ports in the radio for output. The cable has a 1/8" plug on the other end to connect to amp, sound system - whatever. There in a 1/8" port for input from another device. I'm not sure about headphones. There's also a USB port.

Yeah, everybody seems to be going to 1/8" for outputs to another device, like an iSomething or Android something into the input of a car stereo system, etc. Maybe the design of your radio has been around for a long while and instead of changing the unit from RCA jacks to 1/8" or adding one to the back, they just threw in the cable instead to give you versatility. Now that you mention it, my Panasonic home theater system has RCA on the back and an 1/8" on the front for the headphone jack of an iPad or Android phone to be inputted into it.
