Network/USB Features

Connecting to the Network
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.
Internet radio
Modem
WAN
LAN
Computer or media server
Network Requirements
■
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.
■
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
Router
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 routers 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.
■
CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to
connect the AV receiver to your home network.
■
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.
Note
• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband
Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.
En-115
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet
connection.
• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings
automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,
see "Network" (➔ page 82).
• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have
a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-
compatible router.
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server
to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver
(➔ page 82).
Server Requirements
■
Server playback
The AV receiver can play digital music files stored on a
computer or media server and supports the following
technologies:
• Windows Media Player 11
• Windows Media Player 12
• Windows Media Connect 2.0
• DLNA-certified media server
If the operating system of your computer is Windows
Vista, Windows Media Player 11 is already installed.
Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP can be
downloaded for free from the Microsoft web site.
• The computer or media server must be on the same
network as the AV receiver.
• Up to 20,000 folders can be displayed, and folders may
be nested up to 16 levels deep.
Note
• Depending on the media server, the AV receiver may not
recognize it, or may not be able to play its music files.
