Can I stream pandora, use airplay, or play other music in both the main zone and the secondzone simultaneously?

You can use any of the built-in features in both zones at the same time - Pandora in both zones would work. You can't use two different of the built-in network functions at the same time - for example, Pandora in one zone and a different streamed internet source in the second zone won't work. You can stream another analog source to zone 2 while you are streaming any source to zone 1.

Just set this up for a client and I could not detect the avr from my iPod. Going through the owner's manual I find that there is no Airplay! You must wire this avr with an ethernet cable connected to the same router as your computer. This is not Airplay - this is very deceptive. So, to answer the question above. No, you cannot stream anything unless you hard wire this avr, or buy the adapter for making a WiFi connection.

My receiver has 2 zones, but I've never used both. I bet you can figure out away to make it do what you want.

I use this to stream Pandora from my phone to my radio all the time, definitely no issues. There's also a iPhone specific version that might work better for you, if it's still available.

You can use the output of zone 2 as the analog input of the main zone. Put anything you want on zone 2 (except airplay apparently) and change the main zone to the analog inputs. This is a trick we use with automation systems.

I could stream music that was on my iPhone to the iReceiver. I could not stream music from Pandora etc. Hope this helps.

Thanks for reply...So, that is in fact what I am trying to determine in these threads. If I have the USB wi-fi plug, then I should be able to use any computer (or wi-fi capable device) as my music 'server' - correct...?There should be no need to buy another router (Apple TV or Apple Airplay)...Getting very close to pulling trigger on this purchase so thanks for thots if you know.

Pandora is an app already pre installed whereas Spotify is not.You can, however, stream Spotify from your computer or iPhone using Airplay. Hope that helps! I'm an all apple home and all devices work just fine. I will also recommend connecting the receiver using using and Ethernet connection instead of the wifi router/antenna supplied.

Hi Ced. It has second zone pre-outs for audio and video, allowing you to "push: your music and movies to another room.

Yes you can - In fact its the only reason I bought this dock was to keep it hooked up to my home stereo and stream pandora. Ive replaced my satellite radio with Pandora.

I don't have zone 2 hooked up, but there does not seem to be any restriction on what sources you can play in zone 2. The manual is online at the Denon site, and I just checked my copy and it doesn't provide any caveats about sources you can use in zone 2.

I don't believe so. THe sources I see for Zone 2 are: Internet Radio, Pandora, SiriusXM, Media Server, Flickr, Source?, Blu-ray, iPod/USB, CD, Tuner, Online Music, Bluetooth.

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 found this unit very easy to set up on my home network, downloaded the app on my kindle and my android phone and can play pandora, sirius, Iheart, or any other net source of audio.

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.

Unless in party mode(zone 1 and 2 linked); zone 2 will only play analog from local sources. Zone 2 will, however, play internet(pandora, airplay, spotify, etc) and network media independent of zone 1. You will have to step up to the A1030 to get digital zone 2 from local sources.

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

I'm able to get zone 2 audio by setting inet radio as the source. From there I can access inet radio, pandora etc. without running separate analog audio cables
