For connections to the Internet, contact an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a computer shop.

NOTE

•A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the Internet.

No additional contract is needed if you already have a broadband connection to the Internet.

•The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact an ISP or a computer shop for details.

•Depending on the server, video files may be displayed, but they cannot be played on the ASD- 3W.

nOthers

•If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network settings are made manually, make the settings at GUI menu “Setup” – “Network”

–“Network Setup” (vpage 12).

•With the ASD-3W, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions to make the network settings automatically.

•When using a broadband router (DHCP function), the ASD-3W sets the IP address, etc., automatically.

When using the ASD-3W connected to a network with no DHCP function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at GUI menu “Setup” – “Network”

–“Network Setup” (vpage 12).

•The ASD-3W is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with which the PPPoE is set.

•Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may be necessary to make proxy server settings to use the Internet radio function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the ASD-3W in the same way.
