Modem

A modem is a device for exchanging signals over the Internet using a
broadband connection. Some are integrated into routers. For
instructions on connecting to the Internet, contact your ISP or a
computer store.

Router

A router is a device for connecting multiple pieces of equipment
(computers, the AVR-4806, etc.) to the Internet simultaneously.
When using the AVR-4806, we recommend a router equipped with
the following functions:
• Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
Function for automatically assigning the device's IP address on the
LAN.
• Built-in 100BASE-TX switch
When connecting multiple devices, it is recommended to have a
built-in switching hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.
NOTE:
• The type of router that can be used differs for different ISPs. For
details, contact your ISP or a computer store.

Ethernet cable (CAT-5)

The AVR-4806 does not come with an Ethernet cable. Purchase one
of the required length.
Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise. We
recommend using a normal type cable.
If the sound is broken in an environment with the electric products
subject to much power noise or a noisy network environment, use a
shielded type Ethernet cable. This could improve the sound.

Personal computer

• When the contract with your provider is of the type by which the
network settings are made manually, you must make the "Setting
the Network Setup" (
• The AVR-4806 is not compatible with PPPoE. If your contract is of
the PPPoE setting type, you need a PPPoE-compatible router.
• For some ISPs (Internet Service Providers), you may have to make
proxy server settings in order to use the Internet radio function. If
proxy server settings for connecting to the Internet have been made
on the computer, make the same settings on the AVR-4806.
• The AVR-4806 is designed to make the network settings
automatically using the DHCP and Auto IP functions.
