Basic Operation

Using the Network Audio Function

• The AVR-5805CI can be connected to a network by cable to listen to Internet radio or music files stored on computers.

Internet radio function

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 AVR-5805CI 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.) ( page 139)

Exclusive URL : http://www.radiodenon.com (accessible after connection to an Internet radio station.)

2vTuner

The AVR-5805CI’s Internet radio station list uses “vTuner”, a radio station database service. This database service is edited and prepared for the AVR-5805CI.

Music server function

The AVR-5805CI 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 AVR-5805CI’s network audio playback function connects to servers using the following technologies:

•Windows Media Connect

•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.

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.

2Modem

A modem is a device for exchanging signals over the Internet using a broadband connection. Some are integrated into routers. For instructions on connecting to the Internet, contact your ISP or a computer store.

2Router

A router is a device for connecting multiple pieces of equipment (computers, the AVR-5805CI, etc.) to the Internet simultaneously.

When using the AVR-5805CI, 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.

•Built-in 100BASE-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:

•The type of router that can be used differs for different ISPs. For details, contact your ISP or a computer store.

2Ethernet cable (CAT-5)

The AVR-5805CI does not come with an Ethernet cable. Purchase one of the required length.

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 with the electric products subject to much power noise or a noisy network environment, use a shielded type Ethernet cable. This could improve the sound.

2Broadband Internet connection

A broadband connection to the Internet is necessary in order to use the AVR-5805CI’s Internet radio function.
