Internet Modem Computer Router To WAN side To LAN port To LAN port LAN port/ Ethernet connector For connections to the Internet, contact an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a computer shop. Required system n Broadband Internet connection n Modem n Router When using the AVR-990, 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. n Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended) Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise. We recommend using a normal type cable. n Computer GRecommended systemH • OS : Windows® XP Service Pack2 or later, Windows Vista • Software (Prepare one of the following.) • Windows Media Player ver.11 • DLNA-compatible server software • Internet browser : Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later • LAN port • 300 MB or more free disk space b Operation is possible with DLNA servers other than the above, but such DLNA servers are not supported. For details, check the Web. 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. • Depending on the server, video files may be displayed, but they cannot be played on the AVR-990. Connecting Devices • If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network settings are made manually, make the settings at "Network Connecting" (vpage 37). • With the AVR-990, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions to make the network settings automatically. • When using the AVR-990 with the broadband router's DHCP function enabled, the AVR-990 automatically performs the IP address setting and other settings. When using the AVR-990 connected to a network with no DHCP function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at "Network Connecting" (vpage 37). • The AVR-990 is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with which the PPPoE is set. • Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may be necessary to make proxy server settings to use the Internet radio function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the AVR990 in the same way. 22
