Description:

The innovative Acer iRhythm K.O. wired remote tuner allows you to hook your PC into your home stereo to listen to Internet radio stations or MP3 files. The iRhythm combines the convenience of having an unlimited choice of Internet radio stations and MP3 playlists with your expensive surround sound speaker system. For Internet radio stations, a broadband Internet connection (DSL, ISDN, or cable modem) is highly recommended.

The iRhythm K.O. consists of two hardware pieces--a base unit and a remote control. The base unit connects to your PC via a USB port, as well as through the PC's audio output. You can then connect the iRhythm K.O. to computer speakers or a home stereo in the same room as your PC. With the iRhythm K.O. remote control, you can control the iM Tuner software and easily change radio stations or switch between songs on the MP3 playlist.

The iM Band features Internet radio stations composed of 25 genres covering everything from Top 40 country to college radio and even police scanners. Each genre consists of 32 radio stations. There is a list for broadband connections and one for narrowband connections, giving you 800 stations to choose from.

Don't worry if your favorite Internet radio station is not listed in the iM Band. In addition to the 25 genres, you can create your own channel on a Z-band with your favorite Internet radio stations. You can also put your MP3 playlists on the Z-band.

The Acer iRhythm K.O. requires a PC with an available USB port running Windows 98, 2000, or Me. You'll also need to have Windows Media Player 6.4 or later or RealPlayer 7.0 or later installed. The unit is powered by four AA batteries (included).
