Internet radio function
• The AVR-4806CI can be connected to a network by cable to listen to Internet radio or music files stored on computers.
Internet radio refers to radio programs broadcast over the
Internet.
There are many stations throughout the world broadcasting
Internet radio programs. These stations are of all sizes and
types, some run by individuals, others by ground wave
broadcast stations.
While ground wave radio stations can only be listened to within
the range in which the waves reach, Internet radio can be
listened to anywhere in the world.
The AVR-4806CI is equipped with the following Internet radio
functions:
• Stations can be selected by genre and region.
• Up to 56 Internet radio stations can be preset.
• MP3 format Internet radio programs can be listened to.
• Your favorite radio stations can be registered by accessing
Internet.

the exclusive DENON Internet radio URL using a computer’s
browser. (The AV amplifier automatically downloads the
registration settings (approximately once every other day).)
(This is managed separately for each unit, so a MAC address
or e-mail address must be registered.) (

A router is a device for connecting multiple pieces of
equipment (computers, the AVR-4806CI, etc.) to the
Internet simultaneously.
When using the AVR-4806CI, we recommend a router
equipped with the following functions:

¢ Ethernet cable (CAT-5)
The AVR-4806CI does not come with an Ethernet cable.
Purchase one of the required length.
Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise.
We recommend using a normal type cable.
If the sound is broken in an environment with the electric
products subject to much power noise or a noisy network
environment, use a shielded type Ethernet cable. This
could improve the sound.
