the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
Moving the unit

Required System
n Broadband Internet Connection
A broadband line connection to the Internet is required in order to
use the S-52’s Internet radio function.
n Modem
This is a device that is connected to the broadband line to
communicate with the Internet.
n Router
When using the S-52, we recommend you to use a router equipped
with the following functions:
Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN.
Built-in 100BASE-TX switch
When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching
hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.
n Ethernet Cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)
The S-52 does not come with an Ethernet cable.
Purchase a cable of the required length.
n Computer
A computer with the following specifications is required to operate
the music server:
OS
Windows® XP Service Pack2, Windows Vista
Software
· .NET Framework 1.1, Windows Media Connect (Windows XP)
· Windows Media Player Ver.11
· DLNA-compatible server software
Internet browser
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later
LAN port
300 MB or more free disk space
b Free space is required to save music files. The following sizes are
approximate.
For connections to the Internet, contact an ISP (Internet Service
Provider) or a computer shop.
n Others
If you have an ISP contract for a line on which network settings are
made manually, make the settings at “Network Setting” (vpage
12, 13).
When using a broadband router (DHCP function), the S-52 makes
the network settings automatically, so there is no need to make
them yourself.
If connecting the S-52 to a network with no DHCP function, make
the settings at “Network Setting” (vpage 12, 13).
The S-52 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 same proxy server settings on
the S-52.
The S-52 uses the DHCP and Auto IP functions to make the network
settings automatically.
n Ethernet Cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)
No Ethernet cable is included with the S-52. Procure a cable with
the necessary length.
NOTE
Be sure to use a shielded type cable for USB/Ethernet connections.
Depending on the connected computer/router, there may be much
noise generated from the cable.

There are many Internet radio stations on the Internet, and the
quality of the programs they broadcast as well as the bit rate of the
tracks varies widely.
Generally, the higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but
depending on the communication lines and server traffic, the music
or audio signals being streamed may be interrupted.
Inversely, lower bit rates mean a lower sound quality but less
tendency for the sound to be interrupted.
“Server Full” or “Connection Down is displayed if the station is
busy or not broadcasting.
On the S-52, folder and file names can be displayed as titles. Any

Audyssey Dynamic EQ.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ. is a technology that automatically corrects the
tonal balance of an audio system when the volume is changed. It
is based on psychoacoustic research that better matches to human
perception than other loudness compensation that was used before.
The tonal balance is adjusted continuously with variation in both
program material and volume setting.
Audyssey BassXT
Audyssey BassXT is a solution to extend bass performance to lower
frequencies without increasing cabinet size, driver size or weight.
BassXT actively monitors the incoming low frequency signal and
drives subwoofers to their maximum capability at all volumes, thereby
producing deeper bass at all volume levels. This allows the subwoofer
to play low bass content when it can and protects it only for the few
times when it cant. It is not like simple bass boost or tone control
as the system is fully customized for each speaker design by DSP
processing and works in real time.

About Wireless LAN
Wi-Fi
®
Wi-Fi Certification assures tested and proven interoperability by the
Wi-Fi Alliance, a group certifying interoperability among wireless LAN
devices.
IEEE 802.11b
This is one wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group
that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States. It uses the
2.4 GHz band usable freely without a radio frequency license (ISM
band), enabling communications at a maximum speed of 11 Mbps.
The value indicated above is the maximum theoretical value for the
wireless LAN standard, and does not indicate the actual data transfer

Information
IEEE 802.11g
This is another wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group
that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States, and is
compatible with IEEE 802.11b. It also uses the 2.4 GHz band, but
enables communications at a maximum speed of 54 Mbps.
Infrastructure Communications
“Infrastructure Communications” refers to networks using wireless
LAN access points.
This function can be used to connect to the Internet or a wired LAN
via a wireless LAN access point. Wireless LAN access points include
wireless broadband routers.
Ad-hoc Communications
Signal transfer through wireless interconnection of computers is referred
to as “ad hoc communications”. With such ad hoc communications
there is no connection to the Internet. Ad hoc communications are
suited for establishing simple temporary networks.
The value indicated above is the maximum theoretical value for the
wireless LAN standard, and does not indicate the actual data transfer
rate.
Network Names (SSID: Security Set Identifier)
When forming wireless LAN networks, groups are formed to prevent
interference, data theft, etc. This grouping is done by “SSID” or
“Security Set Identifiers”. For further security, a WEP key is set and
signal transfer is not possible unless the SSID and WEP key match.
WEP Key (Network Key)
This is key information used for encrypting data when conducting data
transfer. On the S-52, the same WEP key is used for data encryption
and decryption, so the same WEP key must be set on both devices in
order for communications to be established between them.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
This is a security standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance. In addition
to the conventional SSID (network name) and WEP key (network key),
it also uses a user identification function and encrypting protocol for
stronger security.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
This is a new version of the WPA established by the Wi-Fi Alliance,
compatible with more secure AES encryption.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (Pre-shared Key)
This is a simple authentication system for mutual authentication when
a preset character string matches on the wireless LAN access point
and client.
Passphrase
This refers to the code key used for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication,
a WPA authentication method.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
This is a network key used for WPA. The encryption algorithm is RC4,
the same as for WEP, but the security level is increased by changing
the network key used for encryption for each packet.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
This is a next generation standard encryption method replacing the
current DES and 3DES, and because of its high security it is expected to
be applied widely to wireless LANs in the future. It uses the “Rijndael”
algorithm developed by two Belgian cryptographers to divide the data
into blocks of fixed lengths and encrypt each block. It supports data
lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits and key lengths of 128, 192 and 256
bits as well, offering extremely high encryption security.
