Network
This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s network settings manually.
After modifying the network settings, you must confirm the changes by executing “Save”.
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.
■Network Connection
`Wired
`Wireless
This setting determines whether you connect the AV receiver to network by wired LAN or wireless LAN. If you connect by wireless LAN, select “Wireless”. See “Performing Wireless LAN Setup” for setting
(➔ page 30).
Tip
•The same setting is available even if “Wireless” is selected in “Network Connection” in initial setup (➔ page 26).
■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.
■Network Standby
`On
`Off
This setting enables or disables control over the network.
When enabled, the NET indicator will be
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 of high importance is available.
Note
•Selecting “Never Remind me” on the notification window will switch this setting to “Disable” (➔ page 25).
•For details on the update notification, see “Firmware Update Notification” (➔ page 25).
