What kind of wifi does the Yamaha rx-v579 have?

With built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Apple AirPlay, the RX-V579 gives you lots of choices for wireless music streaming. With the receiver connected to your home network, you can access music from around the world through vTuner Internet radio.

What are the problems with my Yamaha receiver?

The receiver sees it is a dolby signal coming in (I have it set to auto), but can only get sound fromthe 2 main speakers. Even when I put it in test mode, I only hear tones from the 2 main speakers. I moved about a year ago, but only recenlty hooked up sub, centre and rear speakers. It used to work fine.

Can you use DLNA on a Yamaha receiver?

It would work for various DLNA devices for a long time but then would stop working and my DLNA devices were not visible. The web interface would not see any DLNA devices (although it was fine with Pandora, USB, etc.). After reading through the above I simply set the receiver to DHCP and I now I can “see” and use all my DLNA devices.

Why is my Yamaha receiver going into protection mode?

This could happen when strands of the copper wire bridge the gap between the posts and touch the other side. A short like that would cause the receiver to go into protection mode and shut off. I had adjusted the rear speaker connections over the holidays. I took them out of their clips and reconnected..

Is there a musiccast for the Yamaha rx-v579?

MusicCast is the biggest new addition to the Yamaha RX-V579 and is present in several other 2015 Yamaha AV receivers too. In fact, MusicCast is an entire platform that extends to other Yamaha products too. Basically, it is Yamaha’s take on the ever popular wireless multi-room audio trend where the RX-V579 serves as the hub to it all.

What to do if your Yamaha rx-v573 wont turn on?

I’d suggest you first disconnect all speaker wires and other connections, unplug the receiver and then leave it for 30 minutes. Plug the receiver in and powering it back up. If it still goes into protection mode then the issue is with an internal fault and you’ll need to have it looked at by a professional.

Is the Yamaha rxv579 a midrange receiver?

That being said, new midrange models like the Yamaha RX-V579 have some extra benefits of their own and should serve as a reminder that spending a little bit more on a receiver means great things especially for a 2015 model. The Yamaha RX-V579 is one of the five members of the RX-V79 family and rests in the very middle of the pack.

Why is the Yamaha rx-v579 called Zone B?

It is called “Zone B” because the audio source coming out of the main speakers is shared with the two speakers in the other room. If you need “Zone 2” support which allows an independent audio source, you will need to go for a higher-end model like the RX-V679. The RX-V579 has Wi-Fi onboard with wireless direct support.
