Denon RCD-N9 (CEOL N9): restore Internet Radio
The Denon RCD-N9 (CEOL N9) (network CD receiver, 2015) shows an empty Internet Radio list or a server error where stations used to be because the vTuner directory it used became unavailable. Change one DNS setting and the station list returns.
The list didn’t break — its directory did
The RCD-N9 (CEOL N9) network CD receiver used vTuner for Internet Radio. It is fully supported; your CD, DLNA and Bluetooth playback are unaffected. The receiver, your network and its streaming are all fine; only the browsable station directory went away when vTuner became unavailable. Retune·FM answers in its place.
Step by step on the RCD-N9 (CEOL N9)
About two minutes. You change one value — the DNS server — and nothing else on your network changes.
| RCD-N9 (CEOL N9) | On the CEOL / Denon remote open SETUP → Network → Network Connection → set “IP Address = Manual” → leave IP / mask / gateway → set the DNS to 62.132.3.28 → Save → open Internet Radio. You can also do this from the Denon app. |
Confirm stations are back
Power the RCD-N9 (CEOL N9) off and on (or reconnect it to the network), then open Internet Radio / NET RADIO. The list should come alive. Still empty? Re-check the DNS value and that the receiver gets its address settings from your router. To undo everything, set the IP setting back to Automatic.
