About NET

The AV receiver is network-ready,which means you can hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or media server. If your network is connected to the Internet, you can also enjoy Internet radio.

Network Requirements

■Ethernet Network

For 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, play- back may be unreliable, so wired connections are recom- mended.

■Ethernet Router

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

Connecting the AV Receiver

To connect the AV receiver to your home network, plug one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV receiver’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into a LAN port on your router or switch.

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

•NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev- eral networked computers to access the Internet simulta- neously via a single Internet connection. The AV receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.

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

•A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recom- mended.

Some routers have a modem built-in, 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 con- nect the AV receiver to your home network.

■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 recom- mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Note

LAN/Ethernet port

Computer or media server

•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 Settings” (➔ 67).

•The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-com- patible 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 (➔ 67).
