Marantz M-CR611 (Melody Media): restore Internet Radio
The Marantz M-CR611 (Melody Media) (network CD receiver, 2015) shows an empty Internet Radio list or a server error because the vTuner directory it used became unavailable. Change one DNS setting and the station list returns.
The list didn’t break — its directory did
The M-CR611 (Melody Media) network CD receiver used vTuner for Internet Radio. It is fully supported; CD, DLNA, Spotify and Bluetooth are unaffected. The receiver, your network and its streaming are all fine; only the browsable station directory went away when vTuner became unavailable. Retune·FM answers in its place.
Step by step on the M-CR611 (Melody Media)
About two minutes. You change one value — the DNS server — and nothing else on your network changes.
| M-CR611 (Melody Media) | On the remote open SETUP → Network → Network Connection → set “IP Address = Manual” → keep IP / mask / gateway → set the DNS to 62.132.3.28 → Save → open Internet Radio. This also works from the Marantz app. |
Confirm stations are back
Power the M-CR611 (Melody Media) off and on (or reconnect it to the network), then open Internet Radio / NET RADIO. The list should come alive. Still empty? Re-check the DNS value and that the receiver gets its address settings from your router. To undo everything, set the IP setting back to Automatic.

Yes. Any stations you saved keep working, and the browsable directory returns once the DNS is set.
