BEFORE YOU BEGIN

NOTE

If you have already installed at least one HEOS device, please skip to the section “ADDING MORE HEOS DEVICES” below (

p. 17).

System Requirements

Before you begin installing your first HEOS device, please make sure you understand and meet a few basic requirements.

Network Requirements

Wireless Router

- In order to use your HEOS music system, you should have a working wireless (Wi-Fi) network in your home. If you do not have a

wireless network, please contact your local Denon dealer or electronics retailer to assist you with purchasing and installing a wireless network in your

home.

The HEOS Extend Wireless Range Extender (sold separately) is available as an accessory, should

you need to setup a new wireless network or extend the range of your existing network. Please

contact Denon for more information about the Wireless Extender.

High Speed Internet Connection

- HEOS accesses the Internet to stream music to your home from many popular online music services. HEOS is

also designed to provide you with software updates, which are delivered via your home Internet connection. DSL, Cable, and Fiber services will

provide the best experience and reliability. You may experience performance issues with slower Internet connections like satellite based services.
