Hi,
Marantz, which is owned by DNA, who also own Dennon have an IOS app for
their home cinema/stereo equipment.
It is called Remote control, not exactly helpful when searching the app
store, but does have a demo mode where you can select which of their
devices you want to check out.
I use it for my MCR610 mini system. Without labelling any of the
buttons I would say it is fairly good scoring about 6 out of 10, but if
you label the control you are most interested in it could score higher.
These apps only tend to give you day to day operational use access, if
you want full configuration access then you will invariably need to
access the unit via a PC client through its rs232 interface (and these
days a USB/RS232 adapter) which most of the decent AV kit has to enable
Crestron control etc.
There are any number of Apps on the Apple App store to remotely control
devices produced by both manufacturers and third party developers
unfortunately most of them require the actual device to be present on
the network in order to try out the App which is pretty frustrating.

Hi,
I have a question about home cinema. I currently have a 7.2 set-up,
pumping blu-ray content via HDMI through my receiver/decoder. However,
I’m getting tired of fighting with inaccessible menus and settings.
I’ve done some research and discovered that Denon have a number of
receivers that are controllable via IOS app. And, Sony have a number
of blu-ray players that are also controllable via application. Has
anyone experienced this form of audio control? or, can anyone suggest
any other models of receiver/decoder and blu-ray player that are
accessible. The receiver must be able to output DtsX and be capable of
handling 7.2 channels.
Thanks, BJ
