systems).

About playable DLNA network devices
This unit allows you to play music on media servers connected
on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the receiver. This
unit allows for the playing of files stored on the following
devices:
PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with Windows
Media Player 11 installed
PCs running Microsoft Windows 7 with Windows Media
Player 12 installed
DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on PCs or other
components)
Files stored in a PC or DMS (Digital Media Server) as
described above can be played via command from an external
Digital Media Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this
DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital Media Renderers).
This receiver supports this DMR function. When in the DMR
mode, such operations as playing and stopping files can be
performed from the external controller. Volume adjustment
and the muting control are also possible. The DMR mode is
canceled if the remote control unit is operated while in the
DMR mode (aside from certain buttons, including the
VOLUME +/–
,
MUTE
and
DISP
).
Depending on the external controller being used, playback
may be interrupted when the volume is adjusted from the
controller. In this case, adjust the volume from the receiver
or remote control.
Using AirPlay on iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, and
iTunes
AirPlay works with iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod
touch (4th, 3rd and 2nd generations), iPad 2, iPad with iOS 4.2
or later, and iTunes 10.1 (Mac and PC) or later.
To use AirPlay, select your receiver on your iPod touch,
iPhone, iPad or in iTunes. *1
The receiver’s input will switch automatically to AirPlay when
AirPlay is in use. *2
The following operations can be performed when in AirPlay
mode:
Adjustment of the receiver’s volume from iPod touch,
iPhone, iPad or iTunes.
Pause/resume, next/previous track, and shuffle/repeat
from the remote control of the receiver. (Press
NETWORK

mode.)

www.apple.com).
*2: The receiver’s power automatically turns on when
Network Standby is set to ON (page 52
).
Note
A network environment is required to use AirPlay.
AirPlay provided on this receiver has been developed and
tested based on the software versions for the iPod, iPhone,
iPad and the software versions for iTunes that are indicated
on the Pioneer website. AirPlay may not be compatible with
iPod, iPhone, iPad or iTunes software versions other than
those indicated on the Pioneer website.
About the DHCP server function
To play back audio files stored on components on the network
or listen to Internet radio stations, you must turn on the DHCP
server function of your router. In case your router does not
have the built-in DHCP server function, it is necessary to set
up the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play back
audio files stored on components on the network or listen to
Internet radio stations. See The Network Setup menu
on
page 41 for more on this.
Authorizing this receiver
This receiver must be authorized to enable playback. This
happens automatically when the receiver makes a connection
over the network to the PC. If not, please authorize this
receiver manually on the PC. The authorization (or
permission) method for access varies depending on the type
of server currently being connected. For more information on
authorizing this receiver, refer to the instruction manual of
your server.

How can I best clean my receiver?
