nSystem requirements
Internet connection via broadband.
Modem
A device that connects to the broadband and conducts communications on the Internet.
Some modems also incorporate a router.
Router
When using the unit, we recommend a router with the following features.
•Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
This function automatically assigns an IP address on the LAN.
•Built-in 100BASE-TX switch (built-in switching hub compatible with speeds upwards of 100 Mbps)
Computer (recommended system)
•OS
Windows® XP Service Pack2 or more or Windows Vista
•Software
Server software supporting Windows Media Player ver.11 or DLNA.
Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)
•An ethernet cable is not included with the unit.
•Use only shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable which is available at retailer.
•We recommend a shielded straight cable (normal type) for Ethernet connections.
If you use the flat type or a non-shielded cable, the noise may adversely affect other devices.
nChecking the network connection
After connection, test the Internet connection with “Connection Test” in “Network Setup” on the GUI
menu (vpage36).
•If “NETWORK IS FAILED” is displayed in the test, check the IP address with “Network Setup” in
“Information” on the GUI menu, then set “DHCP” to “Manual” (vpage36).
•The unit can use the DHCP function to automatically set up the network.
•When setting up your network manually, after subscribing to an ISP, make the settings according to
directions in “Network Setup” on the GUI menu (vpage36).
•If you connect the unit to a network without a DHCP function, conduct IP address and other settings
according to “Network Setup” on the GUI menu (vpage36).
•The unit does not support PPPoE. If you subscribe to a service that is set with PPPoE, a PPPoE
compatible router is required.
•When setting up the network manually, consult with your network administrator for the settings to
make.
nRegistering the connected device for the network
For playing files stored on a device connected via a network, the device must have the unit registered
in advance.
•For registering, refer to the operation manual supplied with the server.
For Internet connections, use an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Ask your local dealer for details.
NOTE
•Do not connect an NETWORK connector directly to the LAN port/Ethernet connector on your
computer.
•It is necessary to subscribe to an ISP in order to connect to the Internet. If you already have a
broadband connection, there is no need to subscribe anew.
•The router you can use varies with the ISP. For more information, contact your ISP or PC dealer.
•Marantz assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any communication errors or problems resulting
from customer's network environment or connected devices.
