2Router

A router is a device for connecting multiple pieces of equipment (computers, the AVC-A11XV/A1XV, etc.) to the Internet simultaneously.

When using the AVC-A11XV/A1XV, we recommend a router equipped with the following functions:

Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.

Function for automatically assigning the device’s IP address on

the LAN.

Using the Network Audio Function

Internet radio function

 

Music server function

Built-in 100 base TX switch

When connecting multiple devices, it is recommended to have

a built-in switching hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

NOTE:

Internet radio refers to radio programs broadcast over the Internet.

There are many stations throughout the world broadcasting Internet radio programs. These stations are of all sizes and types, some run by individuals, others by ground wave broadcast stations.

While ground wave radio stations can only be listened to within the range in which the waves reach, Internet radio can be listened to anywhere in the world.

The AVC-A11XV/A1XV is equipped with the following Internet radio functions:

Stations can be selected by genre and region.

Up to 56 Internet radio stations can be preset.

MP3 format Internet radio programs can be listened to.

Your favorite radio stations can be registered by accessing the exclusive DENON Internet radio URL using a computer’s browser. (The AV amplifier automatically downloads the registration settings (approximately once every other day).) (This is managed separately for each unit, so a MAC address or e-mail address must be registered.)

Exclusive URL : http://www.RadioDenon.com

Use the MAC address you used when you applied for the amplifier’s upgrade.

2vTuner

The AVC-A11XV/A1XV’s Internet radio station list uses “vTuner”, a radio station database service. This database service is edited and prepared for the AVC-A11XV/A1XV.

The AVC-A11XV/A1XV is equipped with a network audio playback function allowing music files stored on a computer to be played via a LAN (local area network).

The AVC-A11XV/A1XV’s network audio playback function connects to servers using the following technologies:

Windows Media Connect

The Designed to DLNA Guideline

Windows Media DRM 10 (for network devices)

System requirements

The preparations described below must be made in order to use the Internet radio and music server functions.

2Broadband Internet connection

A broadband connection to the Internet is necessary in order to use the AVC-A11XV/A1XV’s Internet radio function.

NOTE:

You must have a contract with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in order to connect to the Internet. For instructions on connecting to the Internet, contact your ISP or a computer store.

If you already have a broadband Internet connection there is no need to take out another contract.

• The type of router that can be used differs for different

ISPs. For details, contact your ISP or a computer store.
