Question: Can I stream music from my PC using the Yamaha AV Controller app only (i.e. without connecting the receiver to a TV set to navigate on-screen menus)?
Document: ( I've been using Apple's iTunes on a computer and Airplay to play music through the house to separate Apple devices (Apple TV and Apple Airport Express) for years. For parties, many speakers distributed through the rooms at lower volumes is much better than blasting sound from one room.) I was very concerned about potential delay in the audio signal with my initial purchase of these network Airplay devices - it was undetectable. I was a happy puppy. Music all over the house without wires!
There is a lot to like about the RX-A2020. Among my favorite features are the AV Controller App, Web Control, Airplay, Intelligent Amp Design, and robust Zone 2 and 3 controls. With a little refinement, possibly through a firmware update, this receiver could really stand apart from the competition. The receiver market is extremely competitive, and Yamaha has not disappointed with the RX-A2020.
The volume slider and the side volume buttons on your Phone/iPod/iPad control the volume on the RX-A2020.If I were to criticize Yamaha it would be for the on-screen menus which look somewhat lo-res and dated, but once you get things setup you'll really never have to revisit those. I can't comment as to the power of the built in amplification or the remote as I am not using either of those but the surround processing is simply phenomenal!! !Overall, highly recommended!
Volume can be adjusted directly from Pandora, just be careful 'cause that slider can make it go all the way to 11! Album art even comes through to the TV if it's on. I didn't try using Pandora to power on the RX, it may work automatically, but it definitely switches the inputs automatically. Of course I also have the Yamaha iPhone app so power, inputs, zone control, audio processing mode, etc. are all right there at my finger tips.
The only thing missing is a built in Screen Saver, have to turn off the TV when listening to net Radio.I hope that Yamaha will update the firmware to fix this problem.
This receiver works equally well for HT and music. I'm using it with PSB front/center speakers and an SVS subwoofer...looking forward to completing the surround setup for the full HT experience.Worth mentioning is that this is my second RX-A2020. The first one died while listening to music on a Friday night. I called Yamaha Tech support and they diagnosed it as defective.
I push it, push it, push it..everyday. Iknow exactly where not to go above to avoid the dreaded all lights out thermal protection shut down.I have never listened to my big screen TV speakers. I only run all video and audio through the 2020. This receiver has all the bells and whistles.
I'm a tech-geek and am still discovering the capabilities of this receiver. I guess some wont consider that a con.I have an external hard drive connected with my music which is nice, and I also use air-play.The folder-system within the OS is dumb, hard to organize a playlist...Overall - this, in my opinion, and after several months of research, is the best AV Reciever on the consumer market. Period.
Ok, let's talk about the &#34;Airplay&#34;. Per the spec noted for this unit on amazon,  the unit has airplay function. Meaning I can hook up my devices wireless to listen to music I pick (e.g. Pandora, my own music on Iphone or Ipad, etc). No!! You have to buy another device (a repeater) which may cost up to $100. And Yamaha carefully did not clearly explain this.
The on-screen menus are right on. I especilly love the Rhapsody, Pandora, Sirius, Net Radio interface...black background with white lettering...that can easily be made to disappear to watch whatever video is on. I am running this all parametically equalized AND with the bass all the way up and the treble all the way down. This gets me going good.
Answer: Yes - the Receiver goes to the settings automatically and plays when it's selected as the output device on your PC
