1.3 5Network Requlrements A live Internet connection is necessary for complete setup, operation, and music enjoyment of your NuVo Player Portfolio Audio System. Once the system is set up and run— ning, Internet is not necessary for listening to music streaming from a network source. For wired Ethernet connectivity a minimum 100mb wired network is necessary for proper communication. This should not be a problem. Today‘s network routers are designed to operate in the Gigabyte range. If this is not the case, you should update the installation‘s network equipment before you proceed with the setup. The Nu¥o Player Portfolio Audio System uses the most advanced dual band 802.11N wireless communi— cation available for the most robust operation. To insure that all components are compatible and communicating correctly, it is strongly suggested net— work routers using the older 802.11G6 protocol are upgraded. & 12 Connecting the 10 &Gateway to the Network The NVGW100—xx Gateway is the wireless communication point for the NuVo Player Portfolio System‘s wireless capable components. it requires a standard Ethernet CATS or 6 {four twisted pair) wire connectionto the home‘s network. It should be a standard EIA/TIA 568A or 568B network terminationif you choose to terminate the cable to a specific length, as shown in fig. 1, or simply use a pre—terminated "network" cable (a cable is included in the package for this purpose), as shown in fig. 2. Note this is a straight— through connection. You should never connect the Gateway using a "crossover" style cable.

h\ ols Home Audio Make sure that the installation‘s routeris connected to the network modem (this is generally supplied by the Internet Service Provider, ISP) with a single CATS network cable. The Gateway has five Ethernet ports and acts as a standard Ethernet switch. Simply connect the included cable, or any Ethernet cable with a standard RJ45 modular plug, into one of the five ports on the back of the Gateway and connect the other end into an available port on the back of the installation‘s router, as shown in fig. 3. Fig. 3 Internet connection to _ the Modem 3 A network switch can also be used for the connection to the Gateway, provided the switch is connected to the Internet through the network‘s router. Once you have made the necessary connections, you are ready to continue with each audio zone setup, the Players Directly to the Network In fieu of using WIFi to connect to wireless capable components, Ethernet may be used as an alternative (P100—xx, P200—xx and P300—xx) through thru it‘s embedded Ethernet Port. This port allows a standard four twisted pair wire, either CATS5 or CAT6, terminated with a modular RJ45 plug to "hardwire" the units directly to the system‘s Gateway or network router, as shown in fig 4. Once the player is connected to the network via the Gateway or directly to the home‘s router, the actual network connection will be com— pleted from the control app on the desired control device, see 2.2 Advanced Setup. Fig. 4

L1 i5 cme Audio 4 Installing the NYVP31Q—xx and NYP3S50O—xx Zone Players If you are installing the NVP3100—xx or NVP3500—xx rack mount component, the network connection is completed by connecting one of the NVP3100—xx (or NVP3500—xx) two Ethernet ports directly to the home‘s network using a standard Ethernet cable. Either of the two Ethernet ports will communicate when connected, as shown in fig. 5. The second port is used for daisy chaining multiple P3100 or P3500 units for more audio zones, as shown in fig. 6. Note that the NVP3100—xx and NVP3500—xx are not wireless devices and do not use the Gateway for communication. Fig. 5 Example shown in fig. 5 and 6 using the NVP3100—cc Player Fig. 6 11

Wl nie Horme Audio necing Spe: efs to the NYP1OO0—xx and NYP20G—ax The NVP100—xx and NXP200—xx zone players are equipped with "5—way" binding posts for connecting the amplified audio signal to speakers. These can be bookshelf, floor standing, or installed in the wall or ceiling. 16 gauge speaker wire is recommended for this purpose. The binding posts provide five different methods for terminating the wire. The post can be unscrewed to expose a hole for the speaker wire. Strip about 1/4 inch of insulation from the inner conductor wire and insert it into the hole. Screw the post back in until it firmly secures the wire, as shownin fig 7. The alternative methods are to terminate the speaker wire into "banana" plugs and insert those into the end of the binding posts, as shown in fig. 8. Spade, Pin and wrapping are alternative connection methods. Be careful to keep the positive and negative speaker connections consistent at both ends. Crossing the left and right terminations will inhibit the audio quality from the amplifier, Fig. 7 Fig. 8 q Speakers to the NYVP3400—«x and NVP3500—xx The P3100 and P3500 zone players have three separate zone "euro" style speaker connectors. The speaker wire is terminated into this modufar plug and then inserted into the appropriate zone output on the back panel of the P3100, as shownin fig. 9. Itis only necessary to strip about 1/8 inch of the insulation from the inner conductor for these plugs. Be careful not to let the exposed speaker wires touch, This will short the connection and could damage the amplifier, Fig. 9 rrmomnnnmen, 00. Eie—————._..
