Enhanced Music Controller

Enhanced AVR controller: listen to music properly!

This app allows remote control of a Network Player or a Network A/V Receiver via the local network. The app supports Onkyo/Pioneer/Integra released in April 2016 or later and Denon/Marantz with build-in HEOS technology. Some TEAC models like Teac NT-503 are also supported.

The two most popular features of the app are music playback and sound profile management. Other benefits include:

• Full music playback control (play, stop, pause, track up/down, time seek, repeat and random modes)
• Full tone control (listening modes, bass, center, treble and subwoofer levels)
• Enhanced Play Queue support (add, replace, remove, remove all, change playback order)
• TuneIn Radio, Deezer, Spotify and Tidal streaming (if supported by receiver)
• DAB / FM / AM (if supported by receiver)
• Multi-zone support (if supported by receiver)
• Multi-room support: Allows control of groups of devices attached via FlareConnect (for Onkyo/Pioneer/Integra only). Ability to control FlareConnect without WiFi
