•If “Network is FAILED.” is displayed in the test, check the IP address with “Network” in “Information” on the GUI menu, then set “DHCP” to “Manual” (vpage 38).

•The unit can use the DHCP function to automatically set up the network.

•When setting up your network manually, after subscribing to an ISP, make the settings according to directions in “Network” on the GUI menu (vpage 38).

•If you connect the unit to a network without a DHCP function, conduct IP address and other settings according to “Network” on the GUI menu (vpage 38).

•The unit does not support PPPoE. If you subscribe to a service that is set with PPPoE, a PPPoE compatible router is required.

•When setting up the network manually, consult with your network administrator for the settings to make.

nnRegistering the connected device for the network

For playing files stored on a device connected via a network, the device must have the unit registered in advance.

•For registering, refer to the operation manual supplied with the server.

For Internet connections, use an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Ask your local dealer for details.

nnSystem requirements

Internet connection via broadband.

Modem

A device that connects to the broadband and conducts communications on the Internet. Some modems also incorporate a router.

Router

When using the unit, we recommend a router with the following features.

•Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. This function automatically assigns an IP address on the LAN.

•Built-in 100BASE-TX switch (built-in switching hub compatible with speeds upwards of 100 Mbps)

Computer (recommended system)

•OS

Windows® XP Service Pack2 or more or Windows Vista

•Software

Server software supporting Windows Media Player ver.11 or DLNA.

Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)

•An ethernet cable is not included with the unit.

•Use only shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable which is available at retailer.

•We recommend a shielded straight cable (normal type) for Ethernet connections.

If you use the flat type or a non-shielded cable, the noise may adversely affect other devices.

NOTE

•Do not connect an ETHERNET connector directly to the LAN port/Ethernet connector on your computer.

•It is necessary to subscribe to an ISP in order to connect to the Internet. If you already have a broadband connection, there is no need to subscribe anew.

•The router you can use varies with the ISP. For more information, contact your ISP or PC dealer.

•DENON assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any communication errors or problems resulting from customer's network environment or connected devices.
