Can you control zone 2 audio from the Android app? For example, turning it on and playing Pandora over zone 2?

Yes. Start the app, select the receiver, the 'zone' button will be in the lower left corner. Select it then select 'Zone 2'.

If you setup the tuner to connect directly to pandora, you can play on zone 2. Select zone 2. Select source. Select pandora. Why waste your phone battery connecting it to pandora and then you phone to the tuner via AirPlay when you can connect to the Internet and pandora directly from the tuner. Other reviewers comments are correct that you can't use an "airplay" connected device on zone 2 but that's not what you asked.

If you do airplay, it won't work. Zone 2 airplay only works while zone 1 also does airplay. Learned the hard way. Having to send it back.

I have few questions. Can you hook up Bluetooth devices to this receiver? if so, will the recommended yamaha bluetooth will work? 2).Can you play music through zone 2 and not have music playing on the main speakers at the same time? 3) I tried adjusting the volume in zone 2 speakers and it said Fixed volume. what does that mean? Can you adjust volume via smartphone if you have it hooked up through bluetooth?

Wanted to double check this. Can you actually play Pandora over Zone 2 if Zone 1 isn't on Pandora? How are you running Pandora through Zone 2? On my HK and Pioneer, only analog signals will play through Zone 2. So I have to run a RCA from my DTV box to have Pandora play on Zone 2.

You would have to use your phone to stream Pandora. the unit does not have any apps. You may be able to control the Pandora experience using head unit buttons, but I do not know for sure.

It depends on where the song is "coming from" (i.e., what the source is).The second zone will only play audio that is coming from non-digital sources. E.g., the tuner. Any audio coming from a digital source, through an HDMI cable will not play in the second zone. Practically, this means the second zone cannot play audio coming from something like a Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, or similar devices when those devices are connected via HDMI.

Multiple location YPAO settings, zone 2 video out. Bluetooth is awesome and sounds great! I suggest reading the manual and figuring out if you need the other items but for me it was well worth the spend for the higher model. Even the better speaker connectors zone 2 are worth it to me.

I used pandora and spotify on my phone with it. The speaker responds to whatever is playing on your device

Zone 2 (audio 2-channel stereo) is useless. It can only pass through analog input sources (e.g. NOT HDMI, because why would you want audio with that HDMI picture on zone 2?) Also it has 2 HDMI outputs, but if you select to pass audio out through HDMI (because Zone 2 audio isn't support on HDMI input) then your zone 1 becomes a 2-channel stereo (not 5.1). There are so many limitations and caveats on use of zone 2, you might as well forget it exists.

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.

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.

I decided not using zones 2 and 3 since it only works with RCA cables. I use digital cables for better sound quality. And surrounds in main zone area work in all modes except if you select 2 speakers. Good luck

Yes, it is possible. You should press "Option", then select "All zones stereo", then "Start" plus Enter y you will see that zone 2 input (I mean the source zone 2 is paying) will change to the same input zone 1 is playing. The only consideración you have to keep in mundo is that you can not use some

No idea. Have not been able to get zone 2 to work from iPhone input yet either.

I have the galaxy s3, the controls will pause and play with pandora. But I have not tried them with the google music app. The volume up/down buttons do not work. And if you hold the play pause button s voice will tell you what missed notifications you have. If you have any other questions just shoot.

Yes. Download the latest version of the Pioneer controller app to your phone from the Google Play Store. It includes plugin to play Pandora from the phone 9ver the A3 speaker.

Yes you can. But to enable this you need to follow some steps: 1) Make sure that you have configured and enable Zone 2 on the setup 2) The source that you need to listen on the Zone 2 need to be connected using using analog cables (RCA). So if you want to watch you cable TV on the Main Output and listen to a CD from you DVD device on the Zone 2, this device need to have the analog cables also connected to the receiver input, HDMI audio cannot be routed to Zone 2. 3) Other option is to listen on Zone 2 the Onkyo Network (Pandora, DLNA, etc) or USB Device (MP3, iPod, etc). On my setup I have connected all the sources using both HDMI and Analog (RCA) cables, and I'm able to listen any source on the Zone 2 indenpendently of what I'm watching/listening on the Main 7.1 Output. Regards.

Hi!I have an android phone. I literally just opened up my music and Pandora app and it played. I just plugged the cord into the headphone spot!

I don't know for sure what you mean by zones, but you just find a frequency that is quiet and set both the unit and your receiver on same frequency and you shouldn't have a problem. You can change the frequency anytime you want, you just have to find a quiet location on your receive'rs FM dial and set the Unit at same frequency.
