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 server, video files may be displayed, but they
cannot be played on the AVR-4310.
• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network
settings are made manually, make the settings at “Network
Connecting” (vpage 38).
• With the AVR-4310, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP
functions to make the network settings automatically.
• When using the AVR-4310 with the broadband router’s DHCP
function enabled, the AVR-4310 automatically performs the IP
address setting and other settings.
When using the AVR-4310 connected to a network with no DHCP
function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at “Network
Connecting” (vpage 38).
• The AVR-4310 is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible
router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with
which the PPPoE is set.
• Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may be
necessary to make proxy server settings to use the Internet radio
function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer to
connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the AVR-
4310 in the same way.
