ONKYO TXNR525 Manuel D’Utilisation

■

For the best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet 
network is recommended. Although it’s possible to 
play music on a computer that’s connected to the 
network wirelessly, playback may be unreliable, so it 
is recommended to use wired connections.

■

A router manages the network, data-routing and 
supplying of IP addresses. Your router must support 
the following:
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows 

several networked computers to access the Internet 
simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The 
AV receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). 

DHCP supplies IP addresses to the network 
devices, allowing them to configure themselves 
automatically.

• A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is 

recommended.

Some routers have a built-in modem, and some 
Internet Service Providers (ISP) require you to use 
specific routers. Please consult your ISP or computer 
dealer if you’re unsure.

■

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to 
connect the AV receiver to your home network.

■

To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must 
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet 
connection (e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide 
satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is 
strongly recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL 

modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer 
dealer if you’re unsure.

• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your 

broadband Internet connection must be working and able to 
access the Web. Consult your ISP if you have any problems 
with your Internet connection.

• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network 

settings automatically. If you want to configure these 
settings manually, see “11. Network Setup” (

).

• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you 

have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a 
PPPoE-compatible router.

• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy 

server to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured 
to use a proxy server, use the same settings for the AV 
receiver (

).

■

The AV receiver can play digital music files stored on 
a computer or media server and supports the 
following technologies:
• Windows Media Player 11 
• Windows Media Player 12
• DLNA-certified media server
• The computer or media server must be on the same 

network as the AV receiver.

• Up to 20,000 folders can be displayed, and folders 

may be nested up to 16 levels deep.

• Depending on the media server, the AV receiver may not 

recognize it, or may not be able to play its music files.

■

• Windows Media Player 12
• DLNA-certified (within DLNA Interoperability 

Guidelines version 1.5) media server or controller 
device.

The setting varies depending on the media server or 
controller devices. Refer to your devices’ instruction 
manual for details.
If the operating system of your personal computer is 
Windows 8/Windows 7, Windows Media Player 12 is 
already installed. For more information, see the 
Microsoft web site.

• USB mass storage device class (but not always 

guaranteed).

• FAT16 or FAT32 file system format.
• If the storage device has been partitioned, each 

section will be treated as an independent device.

• Up to 20,000 folders can be displayed, and folders 

may be nested up to 16 levels deep.

• USB hubs and USB devices with hub functions are 

not supported.

• If the media you connect is not supported, the message “No 

Storage” will be displayed.

• If you connect a USB hard disk drive to the AV receiver’s 

USB port, we recommend that you use its AC adapter to 
power it.

• The AV receiver supports USB MP3 players that support 

the USB Mass Storage Class standard, which allows USB 
devices to be connected to computers without the need for 
special drivers or software. Note that not all USB MP3 
players support the USB Mass Storage Class standard. 
Refer to your USB MP3 player’s instruction manual for 
details.

• Protected WMA music files on an MP3 player cannot be 

played.

• Onkyo accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss or 

damage to data stored on a USB device when that device 
is used with the AV receiver. We recommend that you back 
up your important music files beforehand.

• MP3 players containing music files that are managed with 

special music software are not supported.
