details, contact the technical support department of your Internet provider.
2 Use a router with built-in hub that supports 100BASE-TX. All the networked equipment must support
100BASE-TX for optimum playback experience.
Notes
• When a router with built-in hub is used in environment G, set the IP address of the computer to a fixed
value, as described in “Assigning a fixed IP address to the computer” (page 22).
• The default setting of the Network Media Receiver is “Obtain an IP address automatically (using

on how to do this, see page 28.
