Router
n
When using the DVD-A1UD, we recommend a router with the following features.
•
Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
Function that automatically assigns an IP address on the LAN.
•
Built-in 100BASE-TX switch (built-in switching hub compatible with speeds upwards of 100 Mbps)
Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)
n
•
An Ethernet cable is not included with the DVD-A1UD.
•
For Ethernet cable, we recommend you use shielded straight cable (normal type).
If you use the flat type or a non-shielded cable, the noise may adversely affect other devices.
For Internet connection, use an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Ask your local dealer for details.
NOTE
• It is necessary to subscribe to an ISP in order to connect to the Internet. If you already have a
broadband connection, there is no need to subscribe anew.
• The router you can use varies with the ISP. For more information, contact your ISP or PC dealer.
• DENON assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any communication errors or troubles resulting
from customer's network environment or connected devices.

•
The DVD-A1UD can use the DHCP function to automatically set the network.
•
With the type of circuit in which network setting is performed manually, when subscribed to a provider,
conduct the setting in accordance with "Network Setup" on the GUI menu (vpage 31).
•
If you connect the DVD-A1UD to a network without a DHCP function, conduct IP address and other
settings according to "Network Setup" on the GUI menu (vpage 31).
•
The DVD-A1UD does not support PPPoE. If you subscribe to a circuit that is set with PPPoE, a PPPoE-
compatible router is required.
•
When setting manually, check the setting contents with the network administrator.
