Enjoying Net Audio
The DTR-7.4 is a network audio client that is con-
nected via a LAN to the Network Audio Server with
Net-Tune System Protocol and allows you to enjoy
music files saved on the server, as well as Internet
radio, from anywhere in your home.
Internet radio features
The DTR-7.4 provides enhanced support for Internet
radio and allows you to:
• Listen to both WMA and MP3 audio streamed from
Internet radio stations
• Select stations by genre, location, or language
• Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations
Net-Tune Features
The Network Audio Server distributes music files
through LAN to the DTR-7.4.
The DTR-7.4 plays distributed music data whenever
you need.
In the connection between the Network Audio Server
and the DTR-7.4, the standard TCP/IP network protocol
and the Integra/Onkyo’s proprietary NTSP protocol is
used for music distribution through LAN. The NTSP
protocol handles not only data for music itself but also
additional music information including the name of
tracks and artists, enabling high usability.
The Network Audio Server supports WAVE (PCM) and
MP3 formats. The WAVE format has high sound quality
(equivalent to CD) with no compression. The MP3 for-
mat is widely used through Internet environment and
has near-CD quality with compression.
Hint:
File Format:
MP3 (Approximately 1 MB for 1 minute)
WAVE (PCM) (Approximately 10 MB
for 1 minute)
Requirements for listening to both Internet radio sta-
tions and music files saved on the music server
■
Modem (a device that provides Internet connections
via leased lines; e.g., a cable modem, xDSL modem,
terminal adapter)
* To have access to Internet, you typically need to con-
tract with an Internet service provider (ISP). Modem
requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for detailed
information, consult with your ISP or PC retailer.
■
Router (gateway) (a device that enables multiple
PCs or devices to connect to the Internet simulta-
neously)
An IP address can be obtained automatically by using
the router’s DHCP function.
* Some routers have built-in modem functionality.
Router requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for
detailed information, consult with your ISP or PC
retailer.
■
Ethernet CAT-5 cable
■
Minimum Internet Connection Requirements:
• Broadband Internet Connection
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
based network (requires a DHCP-enabled router)
• 100Base-TX switch built-in broadband router
(recommended)
Notes:
• To enjoy music on Internet Radio, it is assumed that
you provide a broadband Internet connection on
which you can successfully run a web browser. If you
have any problem in connecting to the Internet, con-
sult with your ISP.
• If your ISP contract assumes manual configuration of
network settings, you need to manually configure
your network settings as described in “Network Setup
Menu” (see page 76).
• The DTR-7.4 does not support network settings for
PPPoE connections; if your ISP contract requires
PPPoE, therefore, you must have a gateway/router
with PPPoE support.
• You may have to set up a proxy server to listen to
Internet radio, depending on the ISP you choose. If
your PC is configured to use a proxy server for Inter-
net access, the DTR-7.4 must also be configured the
same way. For more information, see “Proxy Setup
Sub-menu” (see page 77).
• The DTR-7.4 is designed to take advantage of the
DHCP and AutoIP functionality, thereby automati-
cally configuring the network settings. If you opt not
to use the DHCP and AutoIP functionality, you
should manually configure the network settings. For
more information, see “IP Address Sub-menu” (see
page 77).
