n Router
• When using the AVP-A1HD, we recommend you use a router
equipped with the following functions:
· Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN.
· Built-in 100BASE-TX switch
LAN port/Ethernet
When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching
connector
hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.
• When using with a wireless LAN, prepare a broadband router with
built-in access point.
n Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)
Use for wired LAN.
• The AVP-A1HD does not come with an Ethernet cable.
• Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise.
We recommend using a normal type cable.
• For the Ethernet cable, used a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. Do
not use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, as it may exceed
noise standard limits.

NOTE
• A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the Internet.
No additional contract is needed if you already have a broadband
connection to the Internet.
• The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP . Contact an
ISP or a computer shop for details.
• Depending on the server, video files may be displayed, but they
cannot be played on the AVP-A1HD.
n Others
• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network
settings are made manually, make the settings at GUI menu
"Manual Setup" – "Network Setup" (vpage 34, 35).
• With the AVP-A1HD, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP
functions to make the network settings automatically.
• When using a broadband router (DHCP function), the AVP-A1HD
sets the IP address, etc., automatically.
When using the AVP-A1HD connected to a network with no DHCP
function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at GUI menu
"Manual Setup" – "Network Setup" (vpage 34, 35).
• The AVP-A1HD is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible
router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with
which the PPPoE is set.
• Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may
be necessary to make proxy server settings to use the Internet
radio function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer
to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the
AVP-A1HD in the same way.
