Yellow star This symbol denotes radio stations that are included in your favorites.

Yellow arrow

This symbol denotes stations which are recorded, but their currently playing song will be discarded.

This is because the song would be incomplete, since it began playing before recording was started.

The station will enter normal recording state as soon as a new song begins.

Empty green arrow

This symbol denotes stations that are not suitable for recordings with automatic song cutting features. Anyhow you have the opportunity to record these stations continously. Later you may edit your contious recordings to cut the songs manually.

Note: Generally speaking, every station can be used for recordings. However, the automatic song cutting features are only expected to function for those stations that are indicated as being suitable.
Filled green arrow This symbol denotes stations that are suitable for recordings with automatic song cutting features. The fuller the green right arrow, the greater the amount of songs that can be recorded per hour.
