Is AirPlay reception built in or must you purchase the optional Bluetooth receiver for AirPlay to work? I have an iPhone and iPad.

Bluetooth is different from Airplay and it is inferior in single strength and sound quality among many other things. This has Airplay built in and it works great.

Airplay on this receiver is only for audio, not video. The receiver does not bring a wifi adapter. I plugged it in via ethernet and that's how I have it set up for AirPlay. This receiver is not Bluetooth enabled, the dongle Yamaha sells is only to receive a Bluetooth signal and outputs it as digital via coaxial, the receiver remains agnostic as far as what the dongle receives, it cannot display any information showing on your Airplay enabled device. For a Bluetooth enabled Yamaha receiver you'd have to look at the RX-777 which is twice as expensive as this one.

I've only used AirPlay to listen to music; I haven't used it to watch video. For that, it worked beautifully without any extra receiver.

It's built in using a wired networking connection between the receiver and a router.

Agree with other answers - the unit does not have built-in Bluetooth. I stream using Airplay from my iPad and it sounds great.

This version is an airplay version. There is also a Bluetooth product. This does not work with Bluetooth.

It does but very cumbersome to use. You have to switch to the right band on the receiver manually first before making attempts to connect through airplay over bluetooth.

AirPlay? sorry. I'm android user so, I don't know about iPhone's... .. anyway I did't input any code. Just power on(insert usb port) and connect by wifi then I connected my phone to sabrent. .. And play. That's all.

AirPlay upgrade was free when I purchase it. You need to check with Marantz website if it is currently free.

It is not airplay compatible. It uses proprietary software to communicate via wifi.

Pioneer in my eyes have released this head unit way too soon...a lot of features such as mirrorlink...apple functions etc...are not functioning yet. There is supposed to be a firmware upgrade sometime this year. So depending on what functions your looking for, streaming of bluetooth etc will work...all other functions will come at a later date.

I have my iPad and my iPhone paired. It can only pair with one at a time for music playback, but sometime the iPad is closer, so we just swap it out. You do the pairing from the device and I don't keep my iPhone's bluetooth on all the time. So when the iPhone isn't connected, I can easily pair the iPad, and play music off that.

I was also considering using this as an access point for Airplay. Did you try it and did it work? Thanks

No You Can't right now. Beside Airplay doesn't work that well on this device.

Why would you need newest blutooth on a device less powerful than an Ipad Air ?? What version of OSX do you still run on this ??

You should be able to the Bluetooth works fine for me. You and also sync music from a smartphone. I have an iPhone with a sync app I just touch my phone to the AV and can play itunes and music from my phone. That is not bluetooth but the bluetooth also works with the iphone.

Hello John and thank you for your inquiry. The NAD D3020 does not support AirPlay. Although you could add an Apple Airport Express to it to enable AirPlay. We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks again, Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp sales team 1.877.744.1179

I actually have them connected to my apple TV and not the TV. So either you can stream via AirPlay thru the Apple TV or just by Bluetooth. In your case if there is not TV involved, the bluetooth option works great and still you have an optical audi input to plug another audio device

The Airplay issue is a matter of degree. My iTunes and Airfoil do not always connect on the first try. But it is always a quick and easy fix. The issue wasn 't enough to dissuade me from buying a second A5 as a gift.

I am not an iPhone user, so I can't tell you for sure for any iPhone specific features this unit support. I have an android phone, instead of bluetooth, I simply stream music from the web and play through the radio using AUX in from my phone's ear piece jack.
