Network Requirements

Ethernet Network

The AV receiver’s Ethernet port supports 10Base-T. For
best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network is
recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a
computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly,
playback may be unreliable, so wired connections are
recommended.

Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, routing data and supply-
ing IP addresses. Your router must support the following:
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev-

eral networked computers to access the Internet simul-
taneously via a single Internet connection. The AV
receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

DHCP supplies IP addresses to network devices,
allowing them to configure themselves automatically.

• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recom-

mended.

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.

CAT5 Ethernet cable

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to
connect the AV receiver to your home network.

Internet Access (for Internet radio)

To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection
(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory
results, so a broadband connection is strongly recom-
mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please
consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Notes:

• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your

broadband Internet connection must be working and
able to access the Web. Consult your ISP if you have
any problems with your Internet connection.

• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network

settings automatically. If you want to configure these
settings manually, see page 122.

• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so

if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you
must use a PPPoE-compatible router.

• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a

proxy server to use Internet radio. If your computer is
configured to use a proxy server, use the same settings
for the AV receiver (see page 122).

To connect the AV receiver to your home network, plug
one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV
receiver’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into
a LAN port on your router or switch.
The following diagram shows how you can connect the
AV receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s
connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port
100Base-TX switch built-in.

The AV receiver’s NETWORK indicator lights up when
the AV receiver is connected to the network. It flashes if
a connection cannot be established.
