➤ Controlling the unit from a web browser (web control)

En

You can control the unit with the web control screen displayed in a web browser.

• To use this function, the unit and your PC must be connected to the same router.

• Some security software installed on your PC may block the access of the unit to your PC. In these 

cases, configure the security software appropriately.

• To display the web control screen or turn on the unit from the web control when the unit is in standby 

mode, set “Network Standby” (p.105) to “On”.

• We recommend using one of the following web browsers.

– Internet Explorer 9.x, 10.x or 11.x

– Safari 6.x

(Example)

• You can check the IP address of the unit in “Network” (p.143) in the “Information” menu.

• You can bookmark the unit’s IP address in the browser or create a shortcut link (p.105) to access the 

web control screen quickly in the future. However, if you are using a DHCP server, the IP address of 
the unit may change each time the unit is turned on.

• If you have enabled the MAC address filter (p.135), you need to specify the MAC address of your PC 

to allow the PC to access the unit. For information on how to check the MAC address of your PC, 
refer to its instruction manual.

• If you are using Windows 8, we recommend you start Internet Explorer in the following way.

– Select “Desktop” in the Start screen and click the Internet Explorer icon at the bottom left of the 

screen.

• By using the application for smartphone/tablet “AV CONTROLLER”, you can control the unit from an 

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android devices. Visit the Yamaha website for details.
