6: Connecting to the
network
If you have an Internet connection, you can
connect this receiver to the Internet as well.
You can connect through a wireless or a
wired LAN connection.
The following system environment is
required to use the network function of the
receiver.
A Broadband line
connection
A Broadband line connection to the
Internet is required in order to listen to
Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) and to
update the software of the receiver.
Modem
This is the device that is connected to the
broadband line to communicate with the
Internet. Some of these devices are
integrated with the router.
Router
• Use a router compatible with 100 Mbps
or greater transmission speeds to enjoy
content on your home network.
• We recommend that you use a router
equipped with the built-in DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
server.
This function automatically assigns IP
addresses on the LAN.
• Use a wireless LAN router/access point if
you want to use a wireless LAN
connection.
LAN cable (CAT5) (For a
wired LAN connection only)
• We recommend that you use this type of
cable for a wired LAN.
Some flat-type LAN cables are easily
affected by noise. We recommend that
you use normal-type cables.
• If the receiver is used in an environment
in which there is power supply noise from
electric products or in a noisy network
environment, use a shielded-type LAN
cable.
Server
A server is a device which delivers content
(music, photos, and videos) to a DLNA
device on a home network. A device that
can be used as a server (a computer, etc.)
must be connected to your wireless or
wired LAN home network*.
* For details on servers which are compatible
with this receiver, see page 61.
