Ratings and reviews

App works only on initial setup. Fails to connect there after. If you do a complete av system reset it will work once. Who wants to do this every time you want to listen to music from your phone. You will also have to run eq microphone calibration everytime. Posted question on Denon's web site. They deleted post. No reason given. Sent question to software developer. No reply. Great customer service.

Excellent. I discovered Demon has a web server, I think at port 8880 ands it's got very nice graphics unlike one of the ,4 you must download for Denon. I found the web page much easier to set up the demon. All laid out as one would expect. But if you change its main title you loose the entire page. It's as if the web server changes port numbers (there are 64,000 different ports) like addresses to 64,000 homes. Once it changes you'd need a port finder and I have yet to run across one. They were

The app would be useful if the BT connection was not forced as an audio device. I like the interface, and using my phone as a volume and source control for the receiver would be amazing IF there was an option to connect to the receiver NOT as an audio device so I can have sound (separately) on both my phone and the receiver. Unless that is changed I will not use nor will I recommend this app to anyone else.
