There are several methods to connect the unit to a network. Select a connection method according to your environment.
• Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router) may block the access of the
unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the security software or firewall settings appropriately.
• Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.
• To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.
• When playing a high-resolution audio source via the network, we recommend connecting by cable to the router for stable playback.
