Do Yamaha receivers have AirPlay?
Now, with the availability of Apple® AirPlay 2® on the latest Yamaha MusicCast-enabled devices, a solution is at hand. Audio streaming can be done through any AirPlay-compatible speaker, stereo receiver or AV receiver. Video streaming is limited to Apple TV® devices.
Can a Yamaha receiver connect to any other device?
All devices, including the Yamaha are on the same network (the Yamaha via an ethernet cable to the same router that all other devices are connected to and getting IP addresses from). The Yamaha app that you use to remote control the receiver can connect to the receiver just fine.
Can a Yamaha remote control work with airplay?
The Yamaha app that you use to remote control the receiver can connect to the receiver just fine. I can change volume, switch inputs and power on/off the receiver using it. So I don’t think it’s a network issue since their app can see the receiver but AirPlay can’t.
Can you use Apple Music with a Yamaha?
I can see my MusicCast speakers on the MusicCast app and from Apple Music app, but no longer see my Yamaha stereo, though I can turn it on from the Yamaha app. Very recent problem. I think it must be 11.2 update on iPhone.
Is the iPhone and Yamaha on the same network?
I updated the Yamaha firmware today (10/31/2017), turned off and on the Yamaha a couple of times and turned off and on the iPhone a couple times. All devices, including the Yamaha are on the same network (the Yamaha via an ethernet cable to the same router that all other devices are connected to and getting IP addresses from).
