Notes on Energy Saving
General information
The
satisfies the requirements of the latest directives concerning energy-
saving measures (EuP directive). The modern design of the mains power
supply makes an important contribution to this.
The internal micro-processor constantly ensures that sub-assemblies which are
not currently required are automatically switched off. The micro-processor itself
operates in stand-by mode at a relatively low clock speed, and only responds
to the remote control receiver.
In stand-by mode the current drain of the
is less than 0.5 Watt.
If you intend not to use the amplifier for a long period, it should be discon-
nected from the mains socket, i.e. the mains plug should be withdrawn from the
wall socket.
Network Configuration
General Information
The
can be operated in wired LAN networks (
Ethernet LAN
or
Powerline
LAN
) or in wireless networks (
WLAN
).
If you wish to use your
in your home network, you must first enter the
necessary network settings on the
. This includes entering the network
parameters such as the IP address etc. both for wired and wireless operation. If
you wish to use a wireless connection, a number of additional settings for the
WLAN network also have to be entered.
Please refer to the Chapter
'Glossary / Additional Information' and 'Network
Terms'
for additional explanations of terminology relating to network technology.
In the following sections we assume that a working home network
(cable
network of WLAN network)
with router and (DSL) Internet access is present.
If you are unclear about some aspect of installing, setting up and configuring
your network, please address your queries to your network administrator or a
network specialist.
High-resolution audio files via network
The
Music Player
balanced
can also play back high-resolution up to
192 kHz / 32-bit audio formats in the ALAC, FLAC and WAV formats. A WLAN
connection is not generally sufficient to handle the large quantities of data. If you
wish to play back high-resolution audio files via a network connection, please
use a cable network exclusively.
Compatible hardware and
UPnP servers
The marketplace offers a vast number of routers, NAS devices and USB hard
discs made by a very wide range of manufacturers.
equipment is generally
compatible with other makes of machine which bear the UPnP label. A list of
devices which
has checked for compatibility can be found on the Internet

Network Configuration
Menu
All network settings are entered in the Network Configuration menu. This menu
will vary slightly in appearance depending on the type of your network, i.e.
whether you have a wired (LAN) or wireless (WLAN) network.
If the
detects a LAN connection to a network when you switch it on, the
machine will assume that this is to be used, and displays the network
configuration menu for LAN networks.
If no LAN network is connected, the
activates its WLAN module and
displays the WLAN configuration menu when you call up the configuration
menu. The menu for a WLAN network includes a number of additional menu
points. The following sections explain how to use the menu, and the meaning of
the individual menu points.
The Network IF Mode 'auto' is the default factory setting. In case of problems in
combination with your hardware this automatic function can be switched to a
fixed operation mode, e.g. only LAN.
