Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)
•
Use only a shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable which is available at
retailer.
•
Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise.
We recommend using a normal type cable.
•
If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network
settings are made manually, make the settings at “Network connecting
(when “DHCP” settings are “Off”)” (
v
page 29).
•
With this unit, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions
to make the network settings automatically.
•
When using this unit with the broadband router’s DHCP function
enabled, this unit automatically performs the IP address setting
and other settings.
When using this unit connected to a network with no DHCP function,
make the settings for the IP address, etc., at “Network connecting
(when “DHCP” settings are “Off”)” (
v
page 29).
•
When setting manually, check the setting contents with the
network administrator.
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 condition of your Internet connection, the sound
may cut out during playback, or operations may become unstable.

D&M Professional assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any
communication errors or troubles resulting from customer’s network
environment or connected devices.
•
This unit is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible router
is required if you have a contract for a type of line set by PPPoE.
• Do not connect an LAN connector directly to the LAN port/ Ethernet
connector on your computer.
•
To listen to audio streaming, use a router that supports audio
streaming.
•
If you cannot connect to Internet radio or a music server, your
Internet connection may have network security restrictions. Contact
your network administrator.
