AVR

Network Connector

The AVR's Network connector allows you to enjoy Internet radio or content from other
DLNA or Airplay-compatible devices that are connected to the same network. Use a Cat.
5 or Cat. 5E Ethernet cable to connect the AVR's RJ-45 connector to your home network.

USB Port

The AVR can play audio files from an Apple iOS
and allows you to control the iOS device via the AVR remote control. The AVR can also
play MP3 and WMA audio files from a USB device inserted into the USB port. Insert the
connector or device into the USB port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. You may
insert or remove the connector or device at any time – there is no installation or ejection
procedure.
The USB port on your AVR is also used to perform firmware upgrades. If an upgrade for
the AVR's operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it to the
AVR using this port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to the AVR's USB
port, or you may damage both the AVR and the other device.
