Important Safeguards

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

15. Lightning – For added protection for the appli- ance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push ob- jects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

19. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appli- ance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the ap- pliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged,

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have

fallen into the appliance,

C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or

water,

D. If the appliance does not operate normally

by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation,

E. If the appliance has been dropped or dam-

aged in any way, and

F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct

change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety Check – Upon completion of any ser- vice or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

24. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

25. Liquid Hazards – The appliance shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the appliance.

Connecting the NAC-2.3

Connecting for listening to Internet radio and the Audio Network Server

Listening to Internet radio stations requires the following:

■ Modem (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 make a contract with an Internet service provider

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

■ Router (gateway) (gateway) (a device that enables multiple PCs or devices to connect to the Internet simultaneously)

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.

■ Ethernet CAT-5 cable

■ Minimum Internet Connection Requirements:

• Broadband Internet Connection

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) based network (requires a DHCP-enabled router)

• 100Base-TX switch built-in broadband router (recommended)

Connecting for listening to both Internet radio stations and music files saved on Audio Network Server such as NAS-2.3 requires setting up the Audio Network Server as well as completing connections and meeting the requirements described above.

What is Audio Network Server with Net-Tune System Protocol?

Audio Network Server streams digitally recorded music files over a LAN so that they can be played by NAC-2.3 functionality. One server can stream to multiple units of NAC-2.3 at the same time.

The music streaming service is build on Onkyo’s proprietary NTSP protocol, which is an extension to TCP/IP, thereby providing high response times.

In addition to providing the music streaming server functionality, the Audio Network Server allows you to automatically searches music files saved on its hard disk, then easily register the files with the server.

Supported music formats include WAVE (PCM) and MP3. The WAVE (PCM) format provides noncompressed high-quality audio data. The MP3 format, widely used over the Internet, accomplishes data compression at near-CD sound quality.

Connecting speaker systems

Before connecting

• The load impedance of each speaker must be at least 6 Ω.

• Do not use unnecessarily long or extremely thin speaker cords. Otherwise, the DC resistance of the

speaker cords may become too high, lowering the damping factor and causing the sound quality to deteriorate.

• Do not connect the speaker cord to the L and R connectors at the same time and do not connect two or more speakers to the same speaker connectors.

Preparing the speaker cords for connection

1. Strip 15 mm from the end of each cord.

5/8"

(15mm)

2. Twist the stripped end of the cord.

Note:

To prevent damage to circuits never shortcircuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wires.

Network Settings

Before you can use the NAC-2.3 to play music contained in the music library on the Audio Network Server and listen to Internet radio, you must correctly configure the NAC-2.3’s network settings so that it can connect to your LAN and the Internet. It is strongly recommended to use a broadband connection (via an xDSL or CATV leased line) and a router. If you are connected to the Internet via a narrowband dialup connection, you may not be able to enjoy Internet radio as you expect or at all. Before setting up the NAC-2.3, make sure that you are already using a router that provides Internet access and that the NAC-2.3 is correctly connected with your router or hub via a LAN cable. For more information on Internet connectivity, consult with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to the documentation of your router.

Net-Tune Server Settings

If multiple Audio Network Servers exist on the same LAN, you have to select the Audio Network Server to which the NAC-2.3 is connected. (Be sure to use the NAC-2.3 and the Audio Network Server within the same network. If they reside on different networks, the NAC-2.3 cannot recognize the Net-Tune Audio Network Server.) The NAC-2.3 searches for a server when it is connected to the network for the first time, and sets the preferred server parameter to the first server found; however, you can change this setting any time from the setup menu. Once you have selected a server from the menu, that server will be used as the preferred server; that is, the NAC-2.3 will first attempt to access your selected server next time it is connected to the network. If there is no server accessible on the network, the NAC-2.3 displays a “Server Timeout” message.

1. Make sure that the Audio Network Server is running.

2. Make sure that the NAC-2.3 is connected to the same network as the server in the step 1 above is connected to.
