n Router
When using this unit, we recommend you use
a router equipped with the following functions:
•Built-in DHCP server
This function automatically assigns IP
addresses on the LAN.
•Built-in 100BASE-TX switch
When connecting multiple devices, we
recommend a switching hub with a speed of
100 Mbps or greater.
n Ethernet cable
(CAT-5 or greater recommended)
•Use only a shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable
which is available at retailer.
•The normal shielded-type Ethernet cable
is recommended. If a flat-type cable or
unshielded-type cable is used, other devices
could be affected by noise.
•If you have an Internet provider contract for a line
on which network settings are made manually,
make the settings at “Network” (vpage116).
•With this unit, it is possible to use the DHCP and
Auto IP functions to make the network settings
automatically.
•When using this unit with the broadband router’s
DHCP function enabled, this unit automatically
performs the IP address setting and other
settings.
When using this unit connected to a network with
no DHCP function, make the settings for the IP
address, etc., at “Network” (vpage116).
•When setting manually, check the setting
contents with the network administrator.
NOTE
•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.
•DENON assumes no responsibility whatsoever
for any communication errors or troubles
resulting from customer’s network environment
or connected devices.
•This unit is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-
compatible router is required if you have a contract
for a type of line set by PPPoE.
•Do not connect an NETWORK connector directly
to the LAN port/ Ethernet connector on your
computer.
•To listen to audio streaming, use a router that
supports audio streaming.
