When using this unit, we recommend you use a router equipped with the following functions:

Built-in DHCP server

This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN.

Built-in 100BASE-TX switch

When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

nnEthernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)

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

Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise. We recommend using a normal type cable.

If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network settings are made manually, make the settings at “Network Setup” (vpage 101).

With this unit, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions to make the network settings automatically.

When using this unit with the broadband router’s DHCP function enabled, this unit automatically performs the IP address setting and other settings.

When using this unit connected to a network with no DHCP function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at “Network Setup” (vpage 101).

When setting manually, check the setting contents with the network administrator.

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.

DENON assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any communication errors or troubles resulting from customer’s network environment or connected devices.

This unit is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible router is required if you have a contract for a type of line set by PPPoE.

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

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