Medion Wireless LAN Internet Radio (Electronics)

Customer Review

The small block is not a flyweight, is stable, you do not need any second hand to hold the device as with other plastic skid.
Configuration is simple in principle. The Medion Portal of Frontier Silicon is apparently not compatible with the original Portal.
The device is intended to serve as a kitchen radio. The WLAN has to cross through the apartment by two thick old walls.
My HP laptop has problems with that. The radio receives very stable over WLAN. LAN also works, but needs to be configured only) LAN should have the power, as I was afraid that the WLAN is not received sufficient.
The old kitchen radio with the FM reception had its problems, this radio works with DAB contrast
perfectly with even more channels. FM I have not tried with the Medion device.
DLNA works well.

Sound: people of the negative reviews - This thing has 2x5 Watt, unfavorably placed speakers, is small and costs a whopping 100 times Euro ... Who wants to have Bose sound, Bose should buy ...
In menu 'Equaliser' you can add the 'My EQ' a few levels. The profiles for POP, Classical, etc. can forget my opinion.

Better placed speakers would greatly enhance the sound development, but then my unit would be too great. It is placed with me in the kitchen on a corner shelf, which of course greatly affected the sound ... on the kitchen table, it would of course be much better off;)
Nevertheless, the thing a much better sound than some plastic box has (ie the predecessor kitchen radio)

The change of the Internet radio station goes relatively quickly, about 2 seconds.

What is positive is also that they retain (except time, which comes over the net) away well over a week its settings.

Only four stars:
- Volume control is installed wrong;)
- Receives MP3 and AAC streams (unfortunately I get from Frontier Silicon offered only MP3), newly added AAC streams can be played
(At the beginning I had with AAC my problems, for whatever reason)

Pay now even test the Medion service, I want a replacement unit wg. oblique regulator.

02/12/2013:
Medion service was great: on Monday they get back the unit and on Tuesday they have sent the new device.

However, the volume control was still a bit wrong, not so wrong as its predecessor (serial number is different;)
DAB Empfamg was half a point worse, and thus the reception is no longer possible (So FM, mobile phone Empfanfg are with us in the kitchen almost impossible)
The function button works but considerably more accurate.

When Wi-Fi reception I have seen no other problems, but be careful:
My Fritz box does not allow new wireless devices, but this is well with WPS matter. If you switch now the wireless out and back in, gets the IR no new IP address. So I have the Fritz box allows hinzuzunehemen new appliances, thus the device is deposited by MAC address in the Fritz box and then assigns an IP address behaved. If now the Medion device allows wireless connection to keep even in standby, it is still up and running quickly. If you prefer to save power in standby then need the IR on power a bit longer because it firstonce must make a new connection, ie an IP address must Siche pick.

The story with the DAB rankles me is already a little bit, I would get the nine of the first device, I would have taken note and well, just because of poor Empfangbedinungen. But since the first unit had a good reception ... maybe wg. different weather conditions or wg. widely scattered Herstellungstolleranz, well ... so it only IR.

Current FW: IR MMI FS2026-0500-0027_V2.5.13.EX33141-1A5

Perfect the device is not intended. But when we read of the problems of other IRs, this radio is really an amazing thing:
So according to the current status remain following Cons: (1 star deduction)
- Regulator minimally wrong (not nice but tollerierbar)
- Unfortunately, at present hardly DAB reception (have actually not expect anything else)

If you look closely you will notice with other devices that are very similar but depending on the radio portal radio technology. At the end is just branding and look-and-feel differently (Medion, Hama, dual, etc.) chip and FW (perhaps even entire electronics) from Frontier Silicon everything else is then a matter of taste ...

What I feel is also improved the management of favorites and existing custom channels, which could be summarized in a radio Menu thoroughly.

Ideal and very competitive Rank: 5/5
