Quickstart

Connect to the network

Your Denon unit needs to be connected via its rear Ethernet port to the same network as the computer running djctl. They must both share the same IP subnetwork.

Please note that the Denon StagelinQ protocol can only be reached via the wired interface. djctl must use the wired interface to reach the Denon unit.

Launch application

Use the djctl start command to start network discovery and establish a connection to your Denon devices. After unarchiving the djctl download, open a terminal window and switch to the directory containing the djctl binary.

Mac

To launch on a Mac, use the following command:

./djctl start

Windows

If you are on Windows, use the following command:

djctl.exe start

Output

If all goes well, output in the terminal window will resemble the following:
