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.

■

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.

■

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 Internet 
Service Providers (ISP) require you to use specific routers. 
Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re 
unsure.

■

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to 
connect the AV receiver to your home network.

■

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.

• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband 

Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web. 
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” (

• 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 
(
