Lorenzo,
If using DHCP on your home LAN then the set up should be relatively simple:
- Hook up an Ethernet cable from the Denon device to your LAN (router should work OK here) but MAKE SURE you are plugged into the ethernet port on the 3808;NOT the Denon Link port beside it)
-Go to the Network Menu setup option on the GUI.
-Set the Denon for DHCP.
-Go to Network Information and see if your Denon is getting an IP address from the router.
-If you have an IP address assigned by the router you are home free.
-See page 20 for set-up,
-See page 24 for GUI option for firmware update under Manual Setup in the lower right corner.
If you are still stuck, you may need to reboot the router and reset the receiver.
Once that is done, follow these steps to reset the 3808 (you will need to re-do the settings in the receiver after these steps):
1) Unplug the Ethernet cable.
2) Turn off the main power.
3) Hold down the 'Standard' and 'DSP Sim' buttons (note: microprocessor reset "hard reset")
4) Turn on the main power
5) After the display flashes 5 times or so release the buttons
6) After the unit finishes booting up turn off the main power
7) Hold the 'up' and 'down' arrow buttons (note: this described in instructions procedure #2 for firmware prior to 1.57)
8) Turn on the main power
9) After the display flashes 5 times or so release the buttons.
10) Re-connect the Ethernet cable
11) After you see an IP address in network info, try updating the firmware again.
The process for doing the firmware update using the buttons on the face of the receiver:
- Be sure the 3808 is attached to a network.
- Open the front panel
- Push MENU.
- Scroll to MANUAL SETUP
- Scroll to OPTION SETUP
- Scroll to FIRMWARE UPDATE
- START
If none of the above helps you,
this is a great resource to help you through the setup process for networking the 3808. The first few pages have several links to detailed info that will get you there.
There is also an extensive 3808 owners thread on AVS. Might be worth a trip and do a search on network, networking, ethernet, router, etc.
