Basic Operation Basic Operation

Using the Network Audio Function

Internet radio function

The AVR-4306 can be connected to a network by cable to listen to Internet radio or music files stored on computers.

Internet radio refers to radio programs broadcast over the

Internet.

There are many stations throughout the world broadcasting

Internet radio programs. These stations are of all sizes and types,

some run by individuals, others by ground wave broadcast

stations.

While ground wave radio stations can only be listened to within

the range in which the waves reach, Internet radio can be

listened to anywhere in the world.

The AVR-4306 is equipped with the following Internet radio

functions:

• Stations can be selected by genre and region.

• Up to 56 Internet radio stations can be preset.

• MP3 format Internet radio programs can be listened to.

•Your favorite radio stations can be registered by accessing the

exclusive DENON Internet radio URL using a computer’s

browser. (The AV amplifier automatically downloads the

registration settings (approximately once every other day).)

(This is managed separately for each unit, so a MAC address or

e-mail address must be registered.) ( page 81)

2 vTuner

The AVR-4306’s Internet radio station list uses “vTuner”, a radio

station database service. This database service is edited and

prepared for the AVR-4306.

Music server function

The AVR-4306 is equipped with a network audio playback

function allowing music files stored on a computer to be played

via a LAN (Local Area Network).

The AVR-4306’s network audio playback function connects to

servers using the following technologies:

•Windows Media Connect

• The Designed to DLNA Guideline

•Windows Media DRM 10 (for network devices)

System requirements

The preparations described below must be made in order to use

the Internet radio and music server functions.

2 Broadband Internet connection

A broadband connection to the Internet is necessary in order to

use the AVR-4306’s Internet radio function.

NOTE:

• You must have a contract with an Internet Service

Provider (ISP) in order to connect to the Internet. For

instructions on connecting to the Internet, contact your ISP

or a computer store.

If you already have a broadband Internet connection there is

no need to take out another contract.

2 Modem

A modem is a device for exchanging signals over the Internet

using a broadband connection. Some are integrated into routers.

For instructions on connecting to the Internet, contact your ISP

or a computer store.

2 Router

A router is a device for connecting multiple pieces of equipment

(computers, the AVR-4306, etc.) to the Internet simultaneously.

When using the AVR-4306, we recommend a router equipped

with the following functions:

• Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.

Function for automatically assigning the device’s IP address on

the LAN.

• Built-in 100BASE-TX switch

When connecting multiple devices, it is recommended to have

a built-in switching hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

NOTE:

• The type of router that can be used differs for different

ISPs. For details, contact your ISP or a computer store.

2 Ethernet cable (CAT-5)

The AVR-4306 does not come with an Ethernet cable. Purchase

one of the required length.

2 Personal Computer

Install “Windows Media Connect” on your computer.

The required system for forming a music server is as described

below.

1) OS (Operating System):

Windows® XP Service pack2

2) Processor:

Intel PentiumII or AMD processor, etc..

We recommend 1 GHz or greater.

3) RAM:

Min. 128 MB, we recommend 256 MB or greater.

4) Software:

.NET Framework 1.1

5) Internet browser:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later

• LAN port required

• 300 MB or greater free hard disc space required

Extra free space is necessary to store music files.

The following table gives an approximate estimate of the

required free space.

2 Others

• When the contract with your provider is of the type by which

the network settings are made manually, you must make the

“Network Setup” ( page 80, 81).

• The AVR-4306 is not compatible with PPPoE. If your contract is

of the PPPoE setting type, you need a PPPoE-compatible

router.

• For some ISPs (Internet Service Providers), you may have to

make proxy server settings in order to use the Internet radio

function. If proxy server settings for connecting to the Internet

have been made on the computer, make the same settings on

the AVR-4306.

• The AVR-4306 is designed to make the network settings

automatically using the DHCP and Auto IP functions.
