We recommend that you install the latest firmware on your Yamaha Networked A/V Receiver prior to configuring this Receiver Control App. Locate your product and download the latest firmware version from www.yamaha.com/hometheater and review the network firmware update procedure for your model.

You should refer to your Yamaha Network A/V Receiver Owners Manual on the use and configurations of the Zone outputs using internal or external power amplifiers or any other functions provided by the A/V Receiver. Remember that only analog signals can be sent to the second and third zones.

Once you have the latest firmware installed you will need to gather the IP address information from your Yamaha Receiver, as well as configure the NETWORK STANDBY MODE settings to the ON position that will allow you to use this Receiver Control App when the receiver is in the Standby Mode.

Required Network Receiver Information and Configuration:
Locate the Set Up Menu > Functions Setup > Network > Information
Network Information will provide you the IP information required to complete the setup process of this Network Receiver Control App.

Locate the Set Up Menu > Functions Setup > Network > Network Standby
Network Standby allows the receiver to accept or not accept controls via the network while the receiver is in the Standby Mode. Make sure that this setting is ON so that it can accept commands via the network.

You are now ready to set up your Yamaha A/V Receiver Control App. Use the detailed IP information you gathered from the Yamaha Network Receiver to configure your App. Use the IP address number in the Setup page of the Receiver Control App under the General Settings for Yamaha Receiver IP. Copy the number exactly as shown on the Network Receiver (e.g 192.168.1.2 or 192.186.100.120). The App will verify that the IP belongs to a Yamaha Network A/V Receiver on the same LAN. If the IP does not match, the IP will go back to the default or last known valid IP address.

The Refresh Rate is used to manage how often the App communicates with the Receiver for its status. Default is set for every 30 seconds. You can change this setting if you like, but the more often you refresh, the more work the App is doing -- causing unnecessary use of your iPhone or iPod touch battery

Zone Setting:
Depending on how many Zones your Yamaha Network A/V Receiver supports, this App will show all Zones available. This App will provide you the flexibility to configure your App for optimum daily use. These settings only affect the iPhone or iPod touch that has this App is installed.

 

Display:
These settings allow you to display the Zones with the associated controls that you want to show on the main Control page.

Max Volume:
These settings allow you to control the Maximum Volume level that the App will allow for your Receiver.. Each zone can be set at a different volume level. The default setting for each zone is set at -30dB. Use the slider to change the Maximum Volume setting.

WARNING: We do not recommend setting the Volume Max settings to the Max setting, this may result in damage to your Receiver’s amplifiers or attached speakers if volume is accidentally set to the max volume.

The control page allows you interface with all the available zones and controls on the connected Yamaha Network A/V Receiver.

In this area you’re able to control each zone’s POWER, INPUT, VOLUME and MUTE functions.

Power:
Use the POWER toggle switch to turn the identified Zone ON or OFF.

Input:
Pressing the INPUT device text will open a new window showing all available inputs for the Zone. Use up or down finger movement to scroll to the desired input, then simply touch the desired input. The window will close and the input will change.

Mute:
The MUTE button can be activated by pressing the speaker icon. When mute is activated the speaker icon will show a red cross showing that no sound is available on that zone. To release the mute just press the speaker icon once again and the volume will return to the last volume setting.

Volume:
Use the VOLUME sliders to control the volume in each zone. The volume will adjust to the desired setting once you release your finger from the volume slider bar. Note: Make sure that you have adjusted the Maximum Volume level in the Setup page for each Zone based on the capabilities of your system.

This area is designed to provide you easy access to the App manual, the Receiver’s Owner Manual, and a demonstration on how the App works.
