TEAC Internet Radio Not Working — Restore vTuner
An empty Internet Radio list or “No stations”
A connection or server error when opening Internet Radio
If your TEAC network CD receiver or player shows an empty Internet Radio list or a connection error, the directory it relied on (vTuner) became unavailable on many older units. Retune·FM gives Internet Radio a working address again.

TEAC’s Internet Radio ran on vTuner
Internet Radio on TEAC network players and CD receivers was powered by vTuner. In early 2025 the radio directory moved to an HTTPS server, and TEAC advised owners that several older network models would no longer receive radio — which is what many people saw from around 20 January 2025: the menu now returns an error or comes up empty. Retune·FM answers where vTuner used to, and the list works again.
This applies to network-capable TEAC models that had a vTuner-based Internet Radio menu, such as the Reference 500 network CD receivers and the NP network players.
One DNS setting, about two minutes
You change a single value on the TEAC — its DNS server. Nothing else on your network changes.
| TEAC | On the unit or app: Menu/Setup → Network → Network Settings → set IP = Manual/Static → note and re-enter IP address, subnet mask and gateway → set the DNS to 62.132.3.28 → save, then open Internet Radio. |
Supported TEAC models
These are the receivers this method typically restores. If your model used the old vTuner Internet Radio menu, it should work — not sure? Start the free trial, there’s nothing to lose.
Representative list — related models of the same generation usually work too.
Check that stations are back
Power the TEAC off and on (or reconnect it to the network), then open Internet Radio / NET RADIO. The list should come alive. If it’s still empty, re-check the DNS value and that the receiver gets its settings from your router.
Free for 90 days, then a small donation
Every receiver gets 90 days completely free. After that the radio keeps playing — a small, voluntary donation just helps cover the servers. There is no hard cut-off and no blocking. Full pricing ›
TEAC owners ask
Which TEAC models does this help?
The network-capable TEAC units that used the vTuner Internet Radio menu — the CD-P800NT CD/network player, the NT-503 and NT-505 network players, the CR-H500NT / CR-H700 network CD receivers and the NP-H750, among others. If Internet Radio worked before and now shows an error or an empty list, this method applies.
Is it legal? Do I need an app?
Yes, and no app. Retune·FM only links to publicly available radio streams and is not affiliated with TEAC or vTuner. You change one DNS value on the device — no app, no account.
How do I undo it?
Set the device’s DNS back to automatic (or your router’s address). Everything returns to how it was.
