What Audio and Video Formats does this support over DLNA? Does anyone know the formats that this receiver supports over DLNA?

Pretty sure that it does not. FLAC isn't listed in the manual as a supported format (which is too bad).

Yes it can bitstream all HD audio formats over HDMI to a receiver (This was the main reason I bought it). I stream all my content from a NAS including BD rips and mkvs so there is no issue there.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

It will only play audio through airplay. The DLNA services are also audio only

This is exactly what I am wondering, too, whether it be the Samsung or the Pioneer plasmas with DLNA. I hope someone here can report whether these sets can access media on uPnp NAS drives. That's where this interconnectivity really needs to go.

Please let me know what connections did you use to get this improvement? I am experiencing the same problem. Did you use component out from DirectTV HD DVR and/or SD DVD player to the receiver? Did you use a separate digital out to the receiver for the sound?

I tested one of these Sony BDP-S3200, and I found (much to my annoyance) that, while it will connect to A DNLA server (e.g. my NAS box), it will not actually PLAY most of the video files. The bulk of my networked files are in MP4 format, but it says in the user manual that it may not be able to play MP4, MKV, or TS files on a DNLA server. The only video files I found that seemed to consistently work were AVI (XVid) and some WMV.

I have this system and am able to play 24-bit/192KHz flac files through the USB interface just fine (running on linux). I suppose it's possible the software or hardware is downgrading them first but I would have expected no sound at all if the unit really didn't support it.

Thanks very much for your question. It's audio only to the best of my knowledge. It's an amazing sounding receiver.

dma media extender will not currently work with netflix. With the vcmnetflix plugin i cant get video but no audio, this is due to a recent change with netflix using silverlight plugin. I would us the roku, but i hear they have some current problem too

No this doesn't have DLNA functionality. It does support netflix, amazon video, crackle and hulu plus. The S280 on the other hand does do DLNA

Works for my set up with both audio and video. Receiver output is split into two other components. Both audio and video. Must understand, with my set up, this is NOT HDTV. I never tried to split component for HDTV, so not sure if that would work. Just video and left/right audio.

C. Ady is 100% correct. If you don't have anything else than the DLNA functions are serviceable. From a complete product. I purchased a 850 Samsung in part for the DLNA feature. Your better off getting a Slingbox.

Hi Nicholas Honestly I have never used it for that purpose, sorry I have an Onkyo receiver that does that for me. Sorry I have been pleased with its general function however, quick disc download etc.Good Luck.

I believe Yamaha A/V Receivers only supports audio network services (Pandora, net radio etc.). You can connect a separate box that streams video to the receiver but that box would already have an internet connection.

It is able to read play most any video, image or music file directly from a windows shared directly, including those NTFS drives. Is also DLNA compatible. Love mine.
