audio content of another device when it accepts
control from that AirPlay-equipped device, even if
this receiver is being used for AirPlay with the
original device.
• The very loud sound may output from this receiver
when you set the volume too loud using iOS
devices or iTunes.

of iTunes.

screen and “UPDATE” appears on the display
panel when you are connected to the Internet
and using the Home Network or SEN function.
Make sure that other equipment connected to
the receiver is stopped before updating the
software.
For details on software update available, refer
to the customer support site (page 132).
