ONKYO TX-NR801 Manuel D’Utilisation

 

70

 

The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E provides enhanced sup-
port for Internet radio and allows you to: 
• Listen to both WMA and MP3 audio streamed from 

Internet radio stations

• Select stations by genre, location, or language
• Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations

 

The Net-Tune Central is software that distributes music 
files stored on PC through a LAN to the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E.
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E plays distributed music 
data whenever you need it.
*This software is available from Onkyo’s websites.

In connecting Net-Tune Central and the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E, the standard TCP/IP network protocol 
and the Onkyo’s proprietary NTSP protocol are used for 
music distribution through a LAN. The NTSP protocol 
handles not only data for the music itself but also addi-
tional music information, including the name of tracks 
and artists, thus enabling high usability.
In addition to the music distribution server function, 
Net-Tune Central can automatically retrieve music files 
stored on a PC to register them easily with the Net-Tune 
Central database.
Net-Tune Central supports WAVE (PCM), MP3 and 
WMA formats. The WAVE format has high sound qual-
ity (equivalent to CD) with no compression. The MP3 
format is widely used in the Internet environment and 
has near-CD quality with compression. The WMA for-
mat, developed by Microsoft

 

®

 

, also has near-CD quality 

and uses a higher compression rate.

 

With the Net-Tune Central software, you can edit music 
titles, artist names, genre names, and so on, while you 
can also create new genre names, for all music files 
saved on the PC’s hard disks.
Net-Tune Central also provides this information with 
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, allowing you to select 
tracks more easily on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.

 

MP3/WMA (Approximately 1 MB for 1 

minute)
WAVE (Approximately 10 MB for 1 minute)

* How much free space is actually required also 

depends somewhat on such factors as the format and 
residual space on your hard disk, and the bit rate at 
which you make recordings.

* Depending on the MP3 encoder you use, your 

recorded file may not be playable, or the music will 
be degraded by noise, or will generate unpleasant 
sounds.

Also note that no WMA format file with copyright pro-
tection enabled is playable on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E

 (a device that provides Internet connections 

via leased lines; e.g., a cable modem, xDSL modem, 
terminal adapter)

 * To have access to Internet, you typically need to con-

tract with an Internet service provider (ISP). Modem 
requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for detailed 
information, consult with your ISP or PC retailer.

PCs or devices to connect to the Internet simulta-

An IP address can be obtained automatically by using 
the router’s DHCP function.

 * Some routers have built-in modem functionality. 

Router requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for 
detailed information, consult with your ISP or PC 
retailer.

600 MHz Intel Pentium III CPU or better, Windows 
98SE, Me, XP, or 2000 OS (operating system), more 
than 20 MB of free hard disk space, RAM (Windows 
98SE, Me, 2000; requires 128 MB, XP; requires 256 
MB) and Ethernet port.
Not compatible with Macintosh systems.

 

• If your ISP contract assumes manual configuration of 

network settings, you need to manually configure 
your network settings as described in “Network Setup 
Menu” (See page 72). 

• The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E does not support net-

work settings for PPPoE connections; therefore, if 
your ISP contract requires PPPoE, you must have a 
gateway/router with PPPoE support.
