4. Zone2 Setup

Zone2 Out

If you have connected your Zone 2 speakers to an amp with no volume control, set the Zone 2 Out setting to Variable so that you can set the zone’s volume, balance, and tone on the receiver.

Fixed: The Zone 2 volume must be set on the amp in that zone.

Variable: The Zone 2 volume can be set on the receiver.

Default setting: Fixed

Z2 Bass

With this setting, you can boost or cut low-frequency sounds output from the speakers for Zone 2.

The output can be adjusted from –10 dB to +10 dB in 2 dB steps.

Default setting: 0 dB

Z2 Treble

With this setting, you can boost or cut high-frequency sounds output from the speakers for Zone 2.

The output can be adjusted from –10 dB to +10 dB in 2 dB steps.

Default setting: 0 dB

Z2 Balance

With this setting, you can control the relative volume level of the left and right speaker for Zone 2.

Default setting: 0

5. Network Setup

This section explains how to configure the receiver’s network settings manually.

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the receiver is set to use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

Note:

The setup menu display will become available several tens of seconds after the receiver has started up.

What’s DHCP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the receiver, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web

browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case 63.148.251.142.

MAC Address

This is the receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed.

DHCP

This setting determines whether or not the receiver uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings.

Enable (Default setting)

Disable

Note:

If you select “Disable”, you must configure the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS Server” settings yourself.

IP Address

Class A: “10.0.0.0” to “10.255.255.255”

Class B: “172.16.0.0” to “172.31.255.255”

Class C: “192.168.0.0” to “192.168.255.255”

Enter a static IP address provided by your ISP. Most routers use Class C IP addresses.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask address provided by your ISP (typically 255.255.255.0).

Gateway

Enter the gateway address provided by your ISP.

DNS Server

Enter a DNS server address provided by your ISP.

Proxy URL

To use a Web proxy, enter its URL here.

Proxy Port

If you’re using a Web proxy, enter a proxy port number here.

Network Control

This setting enables or disables control over the network. Enable

Disable (Default setting)

Note:

When set to “Enable”, the NET indicator is dimly-lit and the power consumption slightly increases in standby mode.

Control Port

This is the network port used for control over the network.

“49152” to “65535”
