INCREDIBLE SOUND with internet radio! - 01/26/07 08:08 AM
This is too good to be true! The 990 has a capability that I bet not many people are using and should. I was perplexed about the hook up of the analog connection between my computer and the RCA jacks on my 990. The buzzing was terrible.
I called Steve and he said absolutely go out and purchase a USB 2.0 cable and I did. The difference is beyond belief. I purchased the cable at Staples for $19.99 and the sound is amazing.
I couldn't believe that for less than $20.00 a person could gain so much pleasure from the 990. I'll mention a few steps:
1: Buy USB 2.0 high-speed cable. 6-11 feet ($20.00-$30.00)
2: Plug rectangular end into computer and square end into 990.
3: Go to internet and type in WQXR.
4: At the top click "Listen Now!" in red
5: Then, depending upon your internet connection, click whichever one you would like. At first I clicked Media Player (High), but it didn't work. I then clicked RealPlayer (High).
6: Go to OSD by clicking on MENU
7: Go into the OSD and INPUT CONFIG
8: Go to AUDIO INPUTS
9: Go to AUX
10: Go to AUDIO and scroll to USB
11: Click on AUX on Remote and you should be listening to crystal clear music that will blow you away.
Try any station on the internet as they are too numerous to mention. As you can tell, I'm extremely impressed with this feature. I would love to hear anybody's feedback after trying this. Good luck and have fun!
