DTR-8.4/7.4 Net-Tune Quick Start Guide

This guide explains how to get started quickly with Net-Tune.

The DTR-8.4/7.4 can be used as a Net-Tune client on a standard Ethernet network, allowing you to play the music (MP3, WAV) stored on your network audio server through the DTR-8.4/7.4. If your network is connected to the Internet, you can also tune into Internet radio stations.

For full details on using Net-Tune, refer to the DTR-8.4/7.4’s instruction manual.

Networking the DTR-8.4/7.4

For best results, a 100Base-TX. switched Ethernet net- work is recommended. Although it’s theoretically possi- ble to use a wireless network, due to unpredictable performance, it may not provide satisfactory results, so a wired network is recommended.

The DTR-8.4/7.4 uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. Make sure that your router’s DHCP server is enabled. With most routers, the DHCP server is enabled by default.

Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

You may need to specify a proxy server to use Internet radio. If your network audio server is configured to use a proxy server, use the same settings.

To use Internet radio, your broadband Internet connec- tion needs to be up and running and able to access the Web. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc).
