Can this device automatically power up when an AirPlay stream is sent to it like the Bose SoundTouch 20?

I'm pretty sure you have to turn on the unit first, meaning, I don't think it has auto on when Airplay is engaged. Honestly, I bought this and returned it because it had so many glitches. Airplay was often unstable... it's too bad--this little system has a lot of potential but ultimately isn't worth it. For the same or less money, you can get a decent receiver, a dedicated Apple TV for Airplay, and a couple of decent speakers. That's what I did and it's much better.

Yes, and I had no idea this was a feature of this system until I accidentally turned on the Airplay on my computer before turning on the receiver. It does power on automatically. There is a slight delay before the stream kicks in.

Yep, it's Bluetooth so it will connect any device. I use it for Tunein radio, pandora, spotify, and other apps. This will show up the same way airplay does on an iPhone.

yes when you activate Airplay from your iPhone and direct the playback to VSX-1022, it turns itself on. There's also a pioneer app for iPhone, which is basically a remote control that doesn't need a line-of-sight to the receiver.

Yes, you just don't use or set up the repeater function. if mine is set up in repeater mode. repeater mode is news to me because i just use mine for AirPlay.

If you get a inexpensive power adapter you can use it for i pod an the aux input but the reciever section will not work.

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

Good question. I haven't done that. It does airplay. So I'm not sure. I will try to see you are able to turn on and off the receiver

If you have an iphone you can play stored music via airplay directly to the bose unit.

Like any piece of electronics it must be on to work (there is no "standby" mode). It takes about 45 seconds to reconnect to your wireless network before it will show up as an airplay speaker.

Yes, it stays on all the time, although in a low-power mode after being inactive for a while. It's always ready to respond to Airplay from a device like an iPhone. Mine is plugged in and ready all the time except when I unplug the power to carry it down to the basement or next to my exercise bike.

Yes. I can only speak for the iPad and iPhone. There is an app from Denon that least you switch sources and audio modes. I haven't tried it with a second zone yet, but I believe that is supported. The AirPlay support is pretty good as well. If you start streaming to it (built in support) it will automatically turn itself on.

No it will not. The device won't even work with devices that have an interface system. So anything that looks to the device for music information will not work. But a Bose sound dock would work fine

Yes - the Receiver goes to the settings automatically and plays when it's selected as the output device on your PC

You can install Raspbmc that supports airplay. But there is a known issue with ios7 support - ios7 devices play only sound, not video.

Yes it should, when I first installed mine it would turn on/off basically automatically when I pushed the airplay to it. However recently (about 6 months after purchase) it turns itself off automatically, and hitting the physical button is the only way to get it back on. I LOVED this thing for months, but recently struggling.

I would have to get back to you as I installed in a clients home for touch use as I am utilizing Sonos for distributed music.I know it has a remote, would it power the unit up and down I don't remember. FYI unit did not have a cheap feel to it.
