Does the TX-NR636 support Apple AirPlay?

Currently (May 2014) the Onkyos don't do Airplay natively in the receiver. Maybe it will be fixed with a firmware update? This is a bizarre "un-feature", since just about every other AV 2013/2014 receiver in the market at these prices does have AirPlay. After some googling... There is an accessory called the Onkyo DS-A5, that will "add" AirPlay to this receiver, but it is an absolutely pointless device, and is now no longer sold. It is a RRP $199 unit that has Ethernet and WiFi (for AirPlay) and an old iPod port (not Lightning). Output is via digital Toslink and analogue - no special dock to the receiver. If you want AirPlay and want an Onkyo, get the AppleTV. It's under $100 and does video as well as audio. And Netflix and lots of other things besides.

No AirPlay. But you can just connect an iPhone via Bluetooth which is still pretty easy

No. Adding AirPlay is actually expensive ($20-30 per unit is the reported cost, mostly due to license fees for it) and it isn't as widely compatible as Bluetooth. You could add AirPlay with an AppleTV, but then it won't trigger the unit on automatically when used.

You'll need an adaptor to plug it directly into the unit, but airplay works so I've never had to plug mine in.

I am using mine on Apple products (IPod, MacAir and an older MacBook. However, I think the key is using ITunes to enable the AirPlay feature. Don't know anything about Windows 7 capability. instructions should help you. Seems logical if ITunes works, the speakers will work too.

There is a third party software called TuneBlade that I use. It will capture the audio output of the windows computer and transmit it to any airplay device. This device only seems to work with airplay wifi signals.

Dear OK,Thanks so much for your inquiry! The AirPlay technology helps you stream audio wirelessly. It does not stream video at this time. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

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

Thanks for your question. You will nothing additional for Airplay. This is a fantastic sounding system. World Wide Stereo is 36 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

It works with airplay technology which means that you can stream audio from apple devices and from iTunes in windows if the device is connected to the same network.It also has a 3.5 mm input, you would be able to use any audio device with the 3.5 mm input cable, it is not as comfortable as the wireless option (airplay) but it works.

Airplay is only for music not videos. You need to get an Apple TV connect it to one of the many HDMI ports.

sync with an iPad? If you mean play via AirPlay, you'll need a receiver that's capable. but yes, that's what I do.

Yes, it uses DLNA technology as well as AirPlay. I have 5 of them, as well as two SANS400's and use them almost daily.

Yes, the airplay function works with any of the mac stuff that I have tried including iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks.

Support for airplay lays on OS. As far as I know "Raspbian" distribution has support for AirPlay, while it's far from being perfect.

You want to look at an hdmi edid emulator. I tried one but it didn't work, so I went with an AppleTV, and the Compulab product to enable AirPlay mirroring.

I meant no, it won't work with airport/airport express. I think I said airplay.

Don't think this is the same "Airplay" technology used by Apple. These have been around a couple of years. I noticed in news from the CES that there do seem to be many Airplay receivers and speaker systems in the works to function with iTunes/iPod. If you've used the Airports to stream, you know it's a pretty cool system.
