This unit cannot be selected from the Spotify application.
An Internet connection is required for both the mobile digital 
device and this unit.
Connect the mobile digital device by Wi-Fi to the wireless LAN 
router of the same network as the one to which this unit is 
connected.
A Spotify Premium account (for a charge) must be registered 
on the Spotify application.
When this unit is in standby, it cannot be selected from the 
Spotify application.
The sound of the Spotify audio stream is not produced.
Check whether this unit is selected on the Spotify application.
Check that contents are playing on the Spotify application.
If the above does not solve the problem, turn this unit’s power 
off then back on.
This unit’s volume does not increase when the volume 
slider in the Spotify application is raised.
On some models, there is an upper limit to the volume to 
prevent the volume from being too high accidentally. To raise 
the volume higher in this case, do so by operating the remote 
control. When using an application such as iControlAV, the 
volume can also be increased from the application.
Playback continues on this unit when the Spotify 
application is quit.
The Spotify audio stream continues from this unit, even when 
the Spotify application is quit. To operate again, relaunch the 
Spotify application.
Troubleshooting of wireless LAN
WLAN ERR shows in the display.
There might be an irregularity with the WLAN adaptor 
connected to the DC OUTPUT for WIRELESS LAN on the rear 
panel.
If WLAN ERR shows in the display when Network Standby is 
ON, please pull out the AC power cord. When the AC power 
cord is reconnected after 10 seconds, the WLAN ERR will be 
canceled.
Network cannot be accessed via wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN converter’s power is not on (Wireless LAN 
converter’s “Power”, “WPS” and “Wireless” indicators are not 
all lit). Check that the USB cable connecting the wireless LAN 
converter to the receiver’s DC OUTPUT for WIRELESS LAN 
terminal is properly connected.
The LAN cable is not firmly connected. Firmly connect the LAN 
cable (
page 22
).
Wireless LAN converter and base unit (wireless LAN router, 
etc.) are too far apart or there is an obstacle between them. 
Improve the wireless LAN environment by moving the wireless 
LAN converter and base unit closer together, etc.
There is a microwave oven or other device generating 
electromagnetic waves near the wireless LAN environment.
- Use the system in a place away from microwave ovens or 
others device generating electromagnetic waves.
- Avoid using devices generating electromagnetic waves as 
much as possible when using the system with the wireless 
LAN.
Multiple wireless LAN converters are connected to the wireless 
LAN router. When connecting multiple wireless LAN 
converters, their IP addresses must be changed. For example, 
if the wireless LAN router’s IP address is “192.168.1.1”, set the 
first wireless LAN converter’s IP address to “192.168.1.249”, 
the second wireless LAN converter’s IP address to 
“192.168.1.248”, using values between 2 and 249 (such as “249” 
and “248”) that are not assigned to other wireless LAN 
converters or to other devices.
Wireless LAN connections cannot be established between the 
wireless LAN converter and base unit (wireless LAN router, 
etc.).
- With the wireless LAN converter connected to the receiver, 
turn the receiver’s power off, unplug the power cord from the 
power outlet, then plug the power cord back in and turn the 
receiver’s power on.
- The wireless LAN converter must be set in order to establish 
wireless LAN connections. For details, refer to the operating 
instructions of the wireless LAN converter.
The wireless LAN converter is properly connected to the 
receiver and the wireless LAN converter’s indicators are lit, but 
the wireless LAN converter cannot be set from the receiver (the 
settings screen cannot be displayed).
If Network Modes in the receiver’s Network Settings is set 
to STATIC and the IP address has been set manually, the IP 
address set in the wireless LAN converter may not match. In 
the receivers Network Settings, set Network Modes to 
DHCP
. After the setting is completed, turn the receiver’s power 
off. Next, turn the receiver’s power back on and check whether 
the wireless LAN converter’s settings can be displayed with 
the receiver.
If the settings can be displayed, change the IP address settings 
of the receiver and wireless LAN converter as necessary.
The IP address settings of the receiver and wireless LAN 
converter do not match the settings of the wireless LAN router, 
etc.
Check the IP address settings of the receiver and wireless LAN 
converter (including the Network Modes).
If the receiver’s Network Modes is DHCP, turn the receiver’s 
power off, then turn the power back on.
Check that the IP addresses of the receiver and wireless LAN 
converter match the settings of the wireless LAN router, etc. If 
the receiver’s Network Modes is STATIC, set an IP address 
matching the network of the base unit (wireless LAN router, 
etc.).
For example, if the wireless LAN router’s IP address is 
“192.168.1.1”, set the receiver’s IP address to “192.168.1.XXX” 
(*1), the subnet mask to “255.255.255.0”, the gateway and DNS 
to “192.168.1.1”.
Next, set the wireless LAN converter’s IP address to 
“192.168.1.249” (*2).
(*1) Set the “XXX” in “192.168.1.XXX” to a number between 2 
and 248 that is not assigned to other devices.
(*2) Set the “249” in “192.168.1.249” to a number between 2 
and 249 that is not assigned to other devices.
