[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio Startup Time
Sorry if this has been asked before: I've read that this radio needs 45 seconds to start up. I presume this includes the time to make the handshake with the WiFi system. Is this timing accurate? 45 seconds seems a long time to wait for it to burst into life. -- Cape11 Cape11's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82267 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

That's perhaps right if you turn it completely off (unlike other SB products, the Radio does have a 'real' off mode). If you leave it in quasi-off mode, it turns on quickly. In Quasi-off state, it can display a clock or whatever, so most people do leave it in this state. (It can also wake itself up completely for alarms, etc... in 'real off', it's effectively unplugged and won't wake itself up. Why? Because if you pack it in your suitcase and hit the road, a radio with batteries would wake up and start playing default alarm sounds at your alarm time.. this would tend to panic those loading luggage into a plane and you'd be part of some Homeland Security incident since it has batteries, the "Real off" is useful to silent it completely when it needs it.) -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82267 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio Startup Time
To add to snarly's comments.. 45 seconds from true OFF to playing sounds about right. But from Standby, hit the Play button, it is almost instantaneous. In some instances, like being in Standby over night, it may need to re-buffer the stream which may increases playback time to maybe 4 seconds. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82267 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
