Airplay and Pioneer Reciever Connectivity

Just bought a Pioneer reciever (VSX-2) with Airplay. I have exhausted myself trying to get the two to talk. My Pioneer needs to connect to Airport Xtreme base station. Pioneer requires DCHP, DNS, IP etc on a manual basis versus automatically recognizing like Apple TV, etc. Pioneer wisely incorporated Airplay into it's new recievers (VSX 50, 51 52, 53, etc) but made it difficult for the Apple network to recognize. I feel like they want to make you buy there adaptor which connects to the back of the receiver but that costs $149.
My quick fix is to spend $99 on Apple TV and not go throught the pain with Pioneer, then again, there must be a way to make the Airport Extreme and Pioneer VSX52 talk and I'm just one step away from seeing that happen.
Airport Express: I can use one but don't think I need one as a bridge between Pioneer reciever and Airport Extreme.
This is all recently new so the knowledge base in combining is also new with regard to recievers (Pioneer/Phillips).
Help please....

Not sure why your Pioneer receiver is unable to perform as a DHCP client, but adding the appropriate IP address information should be relatively straight-forward.
You can easily get the information using your iMac and going to: System Preferences > Network > Ethernet or AirPort depending on how your iMac connects to the network.
Here's an example from mine. Note: I'm using OS X Lion so it will look a bit different from yours.
For the Pioneer, the DHCP address = Router address; DNS = DNS Server, etc. However, DON'T use your iMac IP address for the IP address used by the Pioneer. The IP address you should use would be in the same subnet, BUT OUTSIDE of the DHCP server range of your router. By default, the AEBS, uses 10.0.1.2 thru 10.0.1.200 for these addresses. I would suggest using 10.0.1.210 for the Pioneer.

IPad 2, AirPlay, and Pioneer VSX-60 connectivity

I purchased the Pioneer VSX_60 receiver a few months ago. Part of the selling point was the AirPort connectivity. I was able to get my iPhone 4 to connect to the receiver as well as my iPad 2 for about a month. Had a slight problem with the receiver and reset the software back to factory settings. I have not been able to connect since that time. I have the current version of software on ALL products (Apple and Pioneer). My Apple devices all "see" the VSX-60 as it appears as an option when selecting AirPlay output. When I select the receiver, music stops, if i hit play, it will default back to the current device either iPad or iPhone. I've tried checking all my settings through my AirPort Extreme base as well as my AirPort Express. AirPlay works fine through my Apple TV. Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

HT4437 Help with airplay and pioneer AV amp

Hi, I have a Pioneer 1326-k (Basically an Elite VSX 53). It is wired directly into my router. I can use airplay from the PC, But not from the Ipad (belongs to the kid, don't know what gen), Iphone (3GS), or the ipod (I am guessing 4 as we just bought it). I have the blue tooth adapter, and it works fine. The wireless control of the amp works fine as well (iControlAV2). Any help appreciated.

TS5316 Airplay and dropped/freezed connections

I have had trouble with Airplay stopping or breaking up when playing movies over my Apple TV and Macbook Pro (2011). Network is 82.11n.
Airplay will then "catch up" briefly but contines to break up.

Intermittant issues are often a result of interference. Check istumbler.net to verify

However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Hi jaredfox06,
If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
Try these steps first
Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
If you don't, try these steps:
Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

HT5706 I just purchased an AppleTV and am trying to connect AirPlay with my mac (2012 model) In 'system preferences displays' an airplay menu is listed but it says 'no device detected'. My AppleTV and macbook are connected to the same network. Any help?

Troubleshoot the network as that is likely what is causing the issue.
Also, temporarily disable the firewall on the Mac and disable IPV6 on the computer.

HT204291 Airplay and mirroring not appearing on iPad Air, all devices up to date. Connected to same wifi network.

Airplay and. Mirroring not working, all devices have airplay turned on and same network.
Tried hard reboot of device as well.

The reply you received did not work for me.
If you don't mind having to re-enter your WiFi password(s) there is a much simpler single step solution that will probably work more often and more reliably than all the steps listed in your other solution.
Simply go into your iOS device settings -> reset -> reset network settings
the device will reboot, and you will have to manually reconnect to your WiFi network - and any other WiFi networks that you had previously stored for automatic connection.

HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do? Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone. I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address. I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default. It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence. Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

Safari can't connect to local server for AirPlay and printer

I have several Airplay devices and one printer set up using Bonjour or AirPlay. This is all on most up to date Mavericks, iOS 7, and 2009 iMac.
In the past, I used to be able to enter an IP address (like for the printer or a powered speaker) and log in to check for firmware updates, etc. But now, while the speakers and printer ALL connect and play/print fine from my Mac and iOS and are clearly on my local network — when I try to access the sites for each — Safari says it "can’t connect to the local server because, it can’t connect to the local server"!
What is happening and, how can I regain web access to these devices?
It does not seem to be the printer, two powered speakers, or a small Wi-Fi device used with an AV stereo. They are all made by different companies and all can’t be broken. Especially, since they all work fine except for access to their internal web sites.
What do I have set, somewhere, that would block out web page access in the local network?

Well, I never could get the Bonjour menu to access device settings in Safari.
So I looked to see if Bonjour could work in Chrome or Firefox. It can!
But you need a plugin. I used Ciaociao in Firefox (I think also for Chrome). It places a small globe icon with other things you added like Pinterest, etc. in the tab bar.
It worked like a charm. I selected the devices from a Bonjour menu Ciaociao presents, accessed the settings, downloaded firmware updates, changed names, etc.
Clearly, there seems to be a Bonjour Safari issue. At least with Mavericks.
It was disappointing that hours with multiple Apple techs did not solve this. A lot of time on hold too. Nobody really knew about Bonjour or Airplay at all. Everyone wanted to pass me off to some other “device” when, it was not a device issue but the broader “internet of things” issue.
Apple is clearly unprepared for customer service in this high growth area.

Airplay to Pioneer receiver no longer works after 10.4 update

I have a VSX-1021K receiver unit which until yesterday, I used quite frequently with iTunes' airplay function. Then, I installed iTunes 10.4 on my Windows 7 computer (32 bit) and suddenly, airplay does not work.
iTunes can still see the VSX-1021 unit and it shows up, but then when I try to play music to it, it fails with the following error:
"An error occurred while connecting to the airplay device "VSX-1021" An unknown error occurred (-15000)."
Meanwhile, the screen on the A/V unit shows "No Title" while it's in Airplay mode. Normally it would display the track information.
I've already emailed this exact question to Pioneer support, and will follow up here with anything I hear back from them. It's possible they might need to update the firmware of the receiver to support protocol changes created in 10.4
Note: I love that iTunes has finally added Aero effects support for Windows 7 (and Vista, I can only assume), only 1.5 years late to the party. But at least it's there. Sweet GUI effects.

Note: issue can be worked around by disabling the Windows Firewall. Interestingly enough, reenabling the Firewall after Airplay is already playing also does not cause problems; the music keeps playing without issue with iTunes 10.4 - but if I revert playback to 'internal speakers' and then back again to the receiver, the errors begin again.
So, that leads me to believe that the Windows Firewall (and OSX firewall, since I've seen similar threads on the mac side of things) is blocking the network protocol/port that allows authentication with the Airplay device, but once connection occurs, that protocol is not used again.
I've spoken with Apple phone support (thank goodness my work gave me a Mac laptop with a warrantied serial number I could use on them) about this, and have been told it's been forwarded to the iTunes programmers. Hopefully we'll see a patch soon, so I don't need to keep my firewall disabled!

Cant get airplay and remote to work again.

So im currently having problems getting airplay to work and remote to connect to my itunes again. I have the iphone 5 and iv been using airplay and remote on it since i got it untill couple of days ago i cant seem to get the airplay icon to show up when my reciever is on and i cant get it to connect to my itunes using remote. I already try restoring the phone but i dont think that was the problem. I get get airplay to work from itunes though. Bascially all the hardwired things can access airplay but not the wireless stuff like my iphone 4 and 5. I tried using my laptops itunes on the wifi and it didnt work but when i connected it to the router it works. Anyone having the same problem as be cause i dont know why is just stopped working all of a sudden when i didnt even change anything.

Iphone and pioneer CD-I200

Hi there, i have a pioneer DEH-P7750MP, with the CD-I200 cable to connect my ipod and it worked great, since it had a very good sound quality and charged the ipod at the same time.
Now i bought an iphone, and when i connect my iphone to the reciever with the CD-I200 it charges the ipod, but when i play any song or video, it sound through the iphone speakers, instead of sound in the reciever.
Anyone have an idea odf why is this happening to me or how can i solve it?
Thanks very much indeed for any help anyone can give me.
Richard Alves

I'm using my iPhone with a DEH-P5900IB. Same CD-I200 cable.
The iPhone likes to be plugged in before the key is turned on. If I do that, the phone will go to charging and connect to the stereo as soon as I start the car. If I plug the iPhone in after the stereo is getting power, it will sometimes give me ERROR-A0. Easy fix tho, just unplug and replug the iPhone until you get the docking chime and it starts to work.
That being said, it seems some CD-I200 cables don't make a good connection with the iPhone's dock connector. Symptoms of this are bad audio and the stereo getinng stuck at "Ready", the iPod source disappearing, or other errors such as ERROR-11. I had a bad fit with my first phone from almost day one. It was replaced for an unrelated Bluetooth problem, and the new phone worked better... but the cable is worn out and it just started to get bad again today. The problem isn't really the dock connector but the cable: Both phones had a good connection on the CD-I200 cable in my mate's car. So, if you can never get it to connect properly, try another cable.
