Denon AVR-3808CI User Manual

n

A  broadband  line  connection  to  the  Internet  is  required  in  order 
to  use  the  AVR-3808CI’s  Internet  radio  function  and  firmware 
update.

n

This  is  a  device  that  is  connected  to  the  broadband  line  to 
communicate  with  the  Internet.  Some  are  integrated  with  the 
router.

n

  When  using  the  AVR-3808CI,  we  recommend  you  use  a  router 

equipped with the following functions:
• Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
  This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN.
• Built-in 100 BASE-TX switch
  When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching 

hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

n

• The AVR-3808CI does not come with an Ethernet cable.
• 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 in which there is much 

power supply noise from electric products or in a noisy network 
environment, use a shielded type Ethernet cable.

n

A computer with the following specifications is required to use a 
music server:

• OS
  Windows® XP Service Pack2, Windows Vista
• Software (Prepare one of the following.)

·  .NET Framework 1.1 and Windows Media Connect (Windows XP)
·  Windows Media Player ver.11
·  DLNA-compatible server software

• Internet browser
  Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later
• LAN port
• 300 MB or more free disk space

• A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the Internet.
  No  additional  contract  is  needed  if  you  already  have  a  broadband 

connection to the Internet.

• The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact an 

ISP or a computer shop for details.

• Depending  on  the  server,  video  files  may  be  displayed,  but  they 

cannot be played on the AVR-3808CI.

For  connections  to  the  Internet,  contact  an  ISP  (Internet  Service 
Provider) or a computer shop.

n

• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network 

settings  are  made  manually,  make  the  settings  at  GUI  menu 
“Manual Setup” – “Network Setup” (vpage 32).

• With the AVR-3808CI, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP 

functions to make the network settings automatically.

• When using a broadband router (DHCP function), the AVR-3808CI 

sets the IP address, etc., automatically.

  When  using  the  AVR-3808CI  connected  to  a  network  with  no 

DHCP function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at GUI 
menu “Manual Setup” – “Network Setup” (vpage 32).

• The AVR-3808CI is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible 

router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with 
which the PPPoE is set.

• Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may 

be  necessary  to  make  proxy  server  settings  to  use  the  Internet 
radio function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer 
to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the 
AVR-3808CI in the same way.
