SETUP AND INSTALLATION
NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
A live Internet connection is necessary for initial setup of your Nuvo Player Portfolio System. For wired Ethernet
connectivity, a minimum 100 MB wired network is necessary for proper communication. Wireless-compatible devices
use dual band 802.11n wireless communication. To ensure that all components are compatible and communicating
correctly, it is strongly suggested that network routers using the older 802.11g protocol be upgraded to support
Multicast and UPnP and be Wi-Fi
®
Certified before you proceed with the setup.
When using an Ethernet connection to the system router, or for initial setup, make a connection from your home
network to one Ethernet port (
) on the device, using a standard Ethernet cable.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS TO THE NV-P100-XX AND NV-P200-XX
The NV-P100-XX and NV-P200-XX players are equipped with five-way binding posts for connecting the amplified audio
signal to the speakers. (See Figure 1).
NOTE:
Speakers can be bookshelf, floor-standing, or installed in the wall or ceiling. 16-gauge speaker wire is recommended. Up to 12-gauge speaker wire can be used, if desired.
The binding posts accept multiple methods for terminating the wire:
• Unscrew the post to expose the hole for the speaker wire. Strip approximately 1/4 inch of insulation from the inner
conductor wire, and insert the wire into the hole. Screw the post back into place until the wire is firmly secured.
• Terminate the speaker wire into “banana” plugs and insert those plugs into the end of the binding posts.
• Spade, pin, and wrapping connection methods are also acceptable.
IMPORTANT:
Be careful to keep the positive and negative speaker connections consistent at both ends. Crossing the positive (+) and negative (-) terminations inhibits the
audio quality coming from the amplifier.
