■ Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of about 10 meters (33 ft) employing the 2.4 GHz frequency band, a band which can be used without a license.
■ Handling Bluetooth communications
•The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by many types of equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology minimizing the influence of other components using the same radio band, such influence may reduce the speed or distance of communications and in some cases interrupt communications.
•The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible differs according to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence of obstacles, radio wave conditions and the type of equipment.
•Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices compatible with Bluetooth function.

■ Network standby
The network function can be enabled, even when the unit is in standby mode (network standby).
If network standby is turned off, the unit can enter standby mode using the minimum standby power (eco standby). Use the web browser on the PC to change the network standby setting (p.29).
•(U.K. model only) As a default, network standby is set to “Auto”. If the unit has been disconnected from the network for 8 hours while it is in network standby mode, it switches to eco standby mode.
■ Auto power standby
If no operation is performed or nothing is played back, the unit will automatically enter standby mode (auto power standby).
MusicCast CONTROLLER can be used to change the auto power standby setting.

PREPARATIONS
Connecting to network
•Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router) may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the security software or firewall settings appropriately.
•A connection cannot be established if the MAC address filter is enabled on the router. Check the router settings.
•Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.
•To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.
Connecting with the MusicCast CONTROLLER
In order to use a mobile device installed with the dedicated “MusicCast CONTROLLER” app, simply follow the instructions in the MusicCast CONTROLLER screen to specify the network settings.
When playing a high-resolution audio source via the network, we recommend connecting with a wired router for stable playback.
•Connect the mobile device in which the “MusicCast CONTROLLER” app has been installed to the wireless router (access point) in advance.
•If this unit will not be connected to the Internet, streaming services such as Internet radio cannot be used. To use streaming services, connect the unit to a Internet with a wired router or wireless router (access point).
1Perform the setup according to the network connection method (wired or wireless).
When connecting to the network using a cable:
Make sure that the unit is connected to the router with a cable.
When connecting to the network wirelessly:
If a wired connection has already been established, disconnect the network cable from the unit.
