Given the availability of the newly launched Apple iOS 4.2 update to its mobile operating system, owners of AirPlay compatible Denon and Marantz components may now stream songs directly from their iTunes music libraries, as well as music stored on their mobile devices, though their Wi-Fi enabled networks from their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch devices.

The AirPlay upgrade is available at both the Denon and Marantz websites.

Denon® A/V receivers that are AirPlay capable include the AVR-4311CI, AVR-3311CI and AVR-991, as well as the company’s new 100th Anniversary Product Collection Model AVR-A100 and its N7 Networked CD Receiver and 2.0 Channel Speaker System, consisting of the new RCD-N7 CD Receiver and SC-N7 Stereo Loudspeakers

In addition, all of the new, IP-based Marantz products, including the Model SR7005 AV Receiver, AV7005 AV Preamplifier, NA7004 Network Audio Player and M-CR603 Networked CD Receiver will work with the new AirPlay feature.

Unleash Your iTunes Library

With AirPlay, users can literally “give their home a soundtrack” by unleashing their iTunes music libraries whether from Mac or PC and streaming all their favourite iTunes songs, as well as music stored on their Apple mobile devices, to select Denon and Marantz components through their Wi-Fi enabled networks from iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch devices. Users do not even need to be in the same room as their Denon or Marantz components to play, pause, skip, and stop the songs in their iTunes libraries and can view iTunes music information, including album art, track titles, and artist info on Apple compatible devices or with their Denon and Marantz components with video output.
