Network/USB Features
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.

N Ethernet Network
For the 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 it is
recommended to use wired connections.
N Ethernet Router
A router manages the network, data-routing and supplying
of IP addresses. Your router must support the following:
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows
several networked computers to access the Internet
simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV
receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP
supplies IP addresses to the network devices, allowing
them to configure themselves automatically.
• A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is
recommended.
Some touters have a built-in modem, and some Internet
Service Providers (ISP) require you to use specific routers.
Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you're
unsure.
N CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to
connect the AV receiver to your home network.
N 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 recommended (e.g.,
cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP
or computer dealer if you're unsure.
Appendix
Consult your [SP if you have any problems with your [nternet
connection.
• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings
automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,
see "Network" (_ page 62).
• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have
a PPPoE-type [nternet connection, you must use a PPPoE-
compatible router.
• Depending on your [SP, you may need to specify a proxy server
to use [nternet radio. If your computer is configured to use a
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver
(_ page 82).
• To receive [nternet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband
[nternet connection must be working and able to access the Web.
