I have a couple of questions about the receiver:
- Does it appear as an airplay destination when it is in standby mode? Or can it be configured to do so?
- If yes on previous question: Can I start “air playing” to it when in standby and it will automatically wake up and switch to airplay source, without me having to do it manually?
- Can you make it autostart and switch source when receiving signal from another source, like digital/optical in or HDMI?
- Can you show video from 1 HDMI port and at the same time play audio from airplay?
- And/or audio from another HDMI port or an audio only port (digital in for example)?
- Can you turn it on from standby in the app?
If you know the answer to any of these questions I'd be very grateful for an answer! Thanks!

1. Yes. You must have network standby turned on.
2. Yes (I hope I'm right here--I'm sure I've done this, just not recently).
3. I'm not sure about sources other than Airplay. I always turn the AVR on first. I'll have to experiment tonight.
4. Yes. I assume you're not talking about zone 2 here. I have the Video Out for Airplay, internet radio, Server (DLNA), and the radio tuner set to HDMI1 (my TV input). This allows me to watch TV picture while listening to any of these audio sources. If I want to hear the TV, I just hit my TV scene mode button. Is this what you're talking about?
5. You cannot mix HDMI inputs (video from one, audio from another). You can set Video Out for AV1 and AV2, along with Airplay and the other ones I've listed above. Off the top of my head, I can't remember if you can do this for Audio1 and Audio2.
6. Yes.
Edit: Wow, I just can't type fast enough
With regard to 3, as someone mentioned you may be talking about HDMI control. I tried that and I hate it--rather, I couldn't be bothered to get it to work properly. If I want to turn it on remotely, the app works great.
