Network

After modifying the network settings, you must confirm the changes by executing “Save”.

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s network settings manually.

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What’s DHCP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case 63.148.251.142.

MAC Address

This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed.

DHCP

`Enable

`Disable

This setting determines whether or not the AV receiver uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings.

Note

If you select “Disable”, you must configure the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS Server” settings yourself.

IP Address

`Class A:

10.0.0.0” to “10.255.255.255

`Class B:

172.16.0.0” to “172.31.255.255

`Class C:

192.168.0.0” to “192.168.255.255

Enter a static IP address provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Most routers use Class C IP addresses.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask address provided by your ISP (typically 255.255.255.0).

Gateway

Enter the gateway address provided by your ISP.

DNS Server

Enter the DNS server address provided by your ISP.

Proxy URL

To use a Web proxy, enter its URL here.

Proxy Port

If you’re using a Web proxy, enter a proxy port number here.

Advanced Operations

Network Standby

`On

`Off

This setting enables or disables control over the network. When enabled, the NET indicator will be dimly-lit while the AV receiver is in standby mode. Note that the indicator may not light under certain conditions (page 47).

Note

When set to “On”, the power consumption slightly increases in standby mode.

Update Notice

`Enable

`Disable

When this setting is enabled, you will be notified if a firmware update via network is available.

Note

Selecting “Never Remind me” on the notification window will switch this setting to “Disable” (page 19).

For details on the update notification, see “If the “Firmware Update Available” window appears.” (page 19).

Initial Setup

If you skipped the initial setup wizard, for example on first-time use, you can reaccess it from here.

See “Initial Setup” (page 20).
