■ Network Service
` With this selection, you can use various Internet radio
services or play the contents stored in media connected

while after the AV receiver is turned on. Please wait

Press ENTER to display the network service screen.
If you want to use the Internet radio services, use
q/w/e/r to select the desired service. Pressing
ENTER again switches to that selection. If you want
to play music files on a server or to perform remote
playback, use q/w/e/r to select “dlna” and then
press ENTER.
■ USB
` With this selection, you can play contents of portable
players (iPod, etc.) and USB storage devices connected

■ InstaPrevue
` With this selection, you can preview audio/video
streams coming from HDMI inputs previously

IN 5/6/7). Even with multiple components connected
through HDMI, you can easily switch between inputs
as their previews are displayed on a single screen.
Press ENTER to display the main preview (currently
selected HDMI input) and the additional previews
(other HDMI inputs). Use q/w or e/r to select a
preview thumbnail, and pressing ENTER will switch
the AV receiver to that input source.

settings of the on-screen Setup menu.
Press ENTER to display the Setup menu
