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.

Computer or media server
m 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.
m 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 routers have a built-in modem, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP
or computer dealer if you're unsure.
m CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to
connect the AV receiver to your home network.
m 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.
• Toreceive [nternetradio with the AV receiver, your broadband
[nternetconnectionmust be working and able to access the Web.
Consult your [SP if youhave any problems with your [nternet
connection.
• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings
automatically. [f you want to configure these settings manually,
see "Network" (_ page 56).
• TheAV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, soif youhave
a PPPoE-type [nternet connection, you must use a PPPoE-
compatible router.
• Dependingon your [SP, youmay need to specifya proxy server
to use[nternet radio. If your computer is configured to usea
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver
(÷ page 56).
