cally set up, and you do not need to follow Steps
3. Proceed with Step 4.
If there is no DHCP server on the network and
you select ON, this receiver will use its own
Auto IP function to determine the IP address.
! The IP address determined by the Auto IP
function is 169.254.X.X. You cannot listen to
an Internet radio station if the IP address is
set for the Auto IP function.

Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server and
Secondary DNS Server.
Press i/j to select a number and k/l to
move the cursor.
4 Select ‘OFF’ or ‘ON’ for the
Enable Proxy Server setting to deactivate
or activate the proxy server.
In case you select ‘OFF’, proceed with Step 7. In
case you select ‘ON’, on the other hand, pro-
ceed with Step 5.

X-Curve
Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too
bright when played back in large rooms. The
X-Curve setting acts as a kind of re-equalization
for home theater listening, and restores proper
tonal balance of movie soundtracks.
1 Select ‘X-Curve’ from the
Manual SP Setup menu.
2 Choose the X-Curve setting you want.
Use k/l to adjust the setting. The X-Curve
is expressed as a downwards slope in deci-
bels per octave, starting at 2 kHz. The sound
becomes less bright as the slope increases (to
a maximum of –3.0dB/oct). Use the following
guidelines to set the X-Curve according to your
room size:
Room size ( m 2 )
X-Curve
(dB/oct)
–0.5 –1.0 –1.5 –2.0 –2.5 –3.0
≤36 ≤48 ≤60 ≤72 ≤300 ≤1000
! If you select OFF, the frequency curve will be
flat and the X-Curve has no effect.
