Cautions on handling

•Before turning the power on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.

•Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When going on vacation or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

•About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

•Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that occurs, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

•Moving the unit

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before moving the unit.

•About care

•Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.

•Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.

•Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought into contact with the unit, and should therefore not be used.

nnRouter

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.

•When using with a wireless LAN, prepare a broadband router with built-in access point.

nnEthernet cable (supplied)

(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 “When “DHCP” is set to “Off” on your router” (vpage 10).

•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 “When “DHCP” is set to “Off” on your router” (vpage 10).

•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.
