I bought the VSX 823 and now play CD's. Can I connect my Samsung Galaxy phone or Nexus tablet to the AV receiver to play Pandora. What cable to use?

The vsx-823 has a pandora app built in, it will only require your login and password, and then it connects to pandora. To utilize the receiver as another pair of speakers would require a bluetooth adapter, (sold separately) or an iOS device using airplay. There is also a pioneer app available on your app store of choice, which will allow easier access of the pandora functions.

Yes! I often listen to Pandora from my Android in our house. The sound is great and it's easy to set up. We also use it a lot outdoors and when traveling. This is a great purchase.

No, i personally used my android phone to listen to stored music and used the pandora station through it. It has an auxillary outlet so anything through that should suffice.

Pandora direct through head unit or bluetooth.. All other music apps through bluetooth...

Yes this unit does have pandora support. But its not a special pandora "mode". The unit has BT audio mode, so anything you play while being BT paired and on BT audio mode on the head unit, will play through your speakers. Youtube videos also play through BT audio mode also.

Yes. You put Pandora on your phone to play hook your phone up and it will play

I downloaded the "Pioneer ControlApp" from Google Play. From the app, I can sign on to my Pandora account and have my speaker play.

I believe the only way to use Pandora is through a separate devise. I used my iPhone so not sure about Android. I used the radio on my boat. It was located in the cabin and still only lasted about a year after which the controls failed.

It works on Bluetooth, so if your phone/media device plays Pandora and has Bluetooth, then yes it will output the Pandora from said device. I've had one for about 3 months and it's been used about 95% of the time streaming Pandora from a phone/tablet.

Hi, paring method on this Sony Sound system is via Bluetooth and apparently streaming music will only work on audio files that are downloaded on the device itself. It will not work on streaming music coming from Pandora. -Ely

I am not the retailer. I bought it for myself. I do not have a Samsung phone. Pandora does work with my droid Maxx. This is the last response to you.

I use Trendnet wireless media bridge (TEW-680MB) plugged into the Ethernet port to connect to my local network and the Ethernet. I have not used the USB ports on the system. The remote control app for android works well also - you can control the tuner, Spotify and Pandora from your tablet or phone.

Just got the 820. Had the same issue, wanted to just listen to the tv when watching satellite. Simply connected a optical cable from sat box to the 820, hit SIGNAL SEL on receiver remote until 02 (optical 2 input, there are two). Now I can listen to the tv or turn on the receiver and get theater sound.

I have not found a way to do so. I try to play Pandora via the web browser provided but it says i need to download the app. Good finding a way. If you do, can you provide me with the information. Ill do the same if I find a way.
