System Overview

The audio from a Web Radio station is delivered over an Internet connection. While using an

Internet connection, you can experience delays, periodic drop-outs and even disconnection.

This can affect the quality and continuity of Internet audio broadcasts. The ability of your

Wave/PC system to play and record CDs, or play music ﬁles, is limited by the capabilities of

your computer hardware and software components.

Getting the best possible sound quality

Your computer hardware is assessed during installation of the Wave/PC software. This is

done to make sure that the Wave/PC system is fully operational within the limitations of your

computer hardware and software components. Upgrading your computer hardware with a

better sound card, more RAM, and a faster CD-ROM drive, hard drive or modem, can

improve the sound quality and overall performance of your Wave/PC system. For more infor-

mation, refer to your computer manufacturer.

While using the Wave/PC system, you can optimize the sound and overall performance of the

system by minimizing the number of tasks being performed by your computer. Traditional

background software applications, such as e-mail or web browsers, have a minimal effect on

Wave/PC system performance when they are not in the process of moving large amounts of

information.

Changes in volume settings

When you installed the Wave/PC software application, the volume settings were automati-

cally calibrated. This calibration matched the relative volume level of computer-generated

audio with the audio generated by the AM/FM tuner in the Wave/PC unit. If you change the

volume level on your computer (such as in the Task bar) outside of the Wave/PC application,

these volume levels will no longer match.

If the volume levels are unmatched the next time you open the Wave/PC application, the dia-

log box in Figure 12 opens. Select the appropriate action.

Options when volume set-

tings no longer match

Note: After installing the Wave/PC system

application, use the Wave/PC system volume

control on your computer to adjust the volume

level. Right click on the Wave/PC monitor icon

in the system tray to bring up the volume con-

trol buttons.

Calibrates the volume settings (see “Setting

general setup options” on page 44).

Restores the volume control settings obtained

from the last volume calibration.

Leaves the volume control in the current

uncalibrated setting.
