Network/USB Features

Connecting to the Network

The following diagram shows how you can connect the AV receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in.

Internet radio

Modem

WAN Router

LAN

Computer or media server

Network Requirements

Ethernet Network

For the best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, playback may be unreliable, so it is recommended to use wired connections.

Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, data-routing and supplying of IP addresses. Your router must support the following:

NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows several networked computers to access the Internet simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP supplies IP addresses to the network devices, allowing them to configure themselves automatically.

A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is recommended.

Some routers have a built-in modem, and some ISPs require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

CAT5 Ethernet cable

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to connect the AV receiver to your home network.

En

Internet Access (for Internet radio)

To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is strongly recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Note

To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web. Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet connection.

The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually, see “Network Setup” (page 49).

The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE- compatible router.

Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver

(page 49).

Server Requirements

Server playback

The AV receiver can play digital music files stored on a computer or media server and supports the following technologies:

Windows Media Player 11

Windows Media Player 12

Windows Media Connect 2.0

DLNA-certified media server

If the operating system of your computer is Windows Vista, Windows Media Player 11 is already installed. Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft web site.

The computer or media server must be on the same network as the AV receiver.

Each folder may contain up to 20000 music files, and folders may be nested up to 16 levels deep.

Note

Depending on the media server, the AV receiver may not recognize it, or may not be able to play its music files.

Minimum system requirements for Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP
