11.2 Connecting to external
wired network
The external wired network can be a single PC,
a PC network, another Center.
The Center can access the wired and wireless
network at the same time. Using the supplied
Ethernet cable, you can connect the Center
separately to a wired network while maintaining
its Wi-Fi connection (e.g. the Wi-Fi connection
between the Center and Stations or the Wi-Fi
connection with an external network). In this
way, you can play the wired network’s music
library only on the Center(UPnP playback). At
the same time, you can still enjoy all the music
playback features on the Wi-Fi network.
Helpful hint:
– For some wired routers, a "Cross Link" Ethernet
cable should be used instead of the normal
"Straight" Orange cable provided in the box.
