Internet

 

 

This is a device that is connected to the broadband line to

 

 

 

communicate with the Internet. Some are integrated with the

 

 

 

router.

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.

nRouter

When using the AVR-5308CI, we recommend you use a router equipped with the following functions:

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

When using with a wireless LAN, prepare a broadband router with built-in access point.

nEthernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)

Use for wired LAN.

The AVR-5308CI does not come with an Ethernet cable.

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

If the sound is broken in an environment in which there is much power supply noise from electric products or in a noisy network environment, use a shielded type Ethernet cable.

nComputer

• Depending on the server, video files may be displayed, but they

cannot be played on the AVR-5308CI.

n Others

• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network

settings are made manually, make the settings at GUI menu

“Manual Setup” – “Network Setup” (vpage 35 ~ 38).

• With the AVR-5308CI, 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 AVR-5308CI

sets the IP address, etc., automatically.

When using the AVR-5308CI connected to a network with no

DHCP function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at GUI

menu “Manual Setup” – “Network Setup” (vpage 35 ~ 38).

• The AVR-5308CI 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
