internet radio presets - no access from front panel?

Posted by: Stefan Vogt on 20 September 2015

Hi folks,

I'm normally accessing my internet radio presets from the naim remote - no problem. But is there a way to access the presets directly from the streamer front panel, please, e.g., on the uniti lite or 272? When pressing the list button I only get lists of UK genres etc., but not my presets - or am I overlooking something, please?

Thanks,

Stefan

Hi Stefan, I will have a check this evening, I remember it was possible with my old Uniti but I have not test in 272.

Hi, it is possible, select iRadio input and press list, then navigate in the list.

Thanks, bicela, but I then get a list of all UK radio stations (or all Jazz), but not my presets...

Oh, Stefan, sounds like you are in a sub-menù, have you tried to navigate by buttons to the iRadio root menù? From here you can get a list of all, including select the 'preset' menù likes are by the Naim App.

 

Hope to help...

Yes, I've tried, and I arrive at the root, with the following options, none of which are the presets:
Added stations
Naims choice
Location
Genre
etc.
 
No luck in getting to the presets!
Any further help welcome, but I'm willing to give this one up, too...
Stefan

I'm pretty certain iRadio pre-set is a function of the Naim app;  so - on some models at least - it will not be available on the player itself via the front panel buttons.

On my NDX it will not get below the root as indicated by Stefan - Added Stations, Naims Choice etc.

Hi -

I think you're right, the radio preset button on the IR remote has no front panel equivalent on the UnitiQute (obviously!) or the SuperUniti. My sense is that lots of functions don't map directly to front panel controls, and this is a Naim design choice. The UnitiQute, with no front panel controls at all (save the mute and volume up/down capability of the logo) takes this to the extreme.

Regards alan

Sorry Stefan,

you're right, there is not!

I always use to set my frequently used iRadio to 'Added stations' and I have not paid attention that is not equivalent to 'Presets'.

Mike, what do you think, maybe the can arise it as a feature request into next beta?

Ah, thanks to all for checking!
 
Yes, Mike and Richard, could you take the suggestion up, please?
 
Why it matters: I wanted to replace my (non-naim) HiFi system in the dining room, and wanted the basic functions available without a remote (as much as I like the naim remote for my main system). Now, the basic functions are IMHO:
 
- volume
- mute
- source
- ... and preset!
 
Thanks,
Stefan

Alright Stefan,

if Mike or Richard will not, tomorrow I will (I'm also enrolled the beta since a while).

Your request is very reasonable, IMHO.

Ciao, Maurizio

Go ahead bicela & suggest as a possible future feature.

..... I will add +1 etc,  even though I rarely do anything with the NDX buttons.  

But I fear it might not be possible - maybe on some units only - if it is an app programable feature
