What You Can Do with the CD/HDD Receiver—Continued
Handling the Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
The HDD is very sensitive to physical shock, vibration, and dust.
The CD/HDD receiver is designed to protect the data safely from physical shock, vibration, and dust. However, pay
particular attention to the following points to prevent the recorded data from being lost.
• Do not apply physical shock.
• Do not move the CD/HDD receiver with power cord plugged.
• Do not use the CD/HDD receiver in vibratory or unstable place.
• Do not unplug or move the CD/HDD receiver during recording or playback.
• Do not attempt to replace the HDD or to add another one by yourself. A failure may occur.
• Do not install the CD/HDD receiver in a dusty place.
• Do not block any ventilation openings on the CD/HDD receiver. Heat may be built up, causing a failure.
• Do not use in a place with rapid temperature change (a change over 10°C per hour).
When there is the possibility of moisture condensation occurring, Onkyo recommend that you wait for approx.
one hour after turning the power on before using the CD/HDD receiver.
Advice on data backup
The HDD may fail even in normal use, for example, a sudden data loss or failure caused by electrical service interruption. If the HDD fails for some reason, the data cannot be restored. Onkyo recommend that you backup the data stored
in the CD/HDD receiver to your personal computer or commercially available USB hard disk drive periodically.
When getting repaired
When the HDD gets repaired, the data in the HDD of the CD/HDD receiver, including music data, setting data, cannot
sometimes be reproduced. Before it gets repaired, note down the setting details preset in the CD/HDD receiver on paper.
Also be sure to backup the data stored in the CD/HDD receiver. Please note that Onkyo will not be responsible for
anything if the data should be erased or changed during the repair and normal use.

Hooking Up to the Internet
The CD/HDD receiver is network-ready, which means
you can hook it up to your home network with a standard
Internet and the Gracenote® music recognition service is
available. Gracenote
music CD database service constructed on servers
located on the Internet. See page 83 for details.
In addition, while the PC is accessing the CD/HDD
receiver, you can transfer the music files between the
CD/HDD receiver and your PC via FTP. See page 55 for
details.
The CD/HDD receiver is configured to automatically try
to access the Internet upon completion of the hook up. If
your connection is not successfully established, see
page 71. A contract with an Internet Service Provider
(ISP) is required to connect to the Internet. If you already
have a broadband internet connection there is no need to
take out another contract.
Network Requirements
■ Ethernet Network
The CD/HDD receiver’s Ethernet port supports 10BaseT. For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network is recommended. Because wireless connections
may be unreliable, wired connections are recommended.
®
music recognition service is
• The CD/HDD 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. If your computer is configured to use a proxy
server, use the same settings for the CD/HDD receiver
(
see page 72).
Connecting the CD/HDD receiver
To connect the CD/HDD receiver to your home network,
plug one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the
CD/HDD receiver’s ETHERNET port, and plug the
other end into a LAN port on your router or switch.
The following diagram shows how you can connect the
CD/HDD receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s connected to a LAN port on a router, which has
a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in.
CD/HDD receiver
■ Ethernet Router
A router manages the network, routing data and supplying 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.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
DHCP supplies IP addresses to network devices,
allowing them to configure themselves automatically.
• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recommended.
Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your
ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
■ CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to
connect the CD/HDD receiver to your home network.
■ 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.
Notes:
• The CD/HDD receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure
these settings manually,
see page 72.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ™
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by
taking into account human perception and room
acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency
response moment-by-moment at any user-selected
volume setting. The result is bass response and tonal
balance that remains constant despite changes in
volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from
incoming source levels with actual output sound
levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a
loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ
works in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide wellbalanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
