Just bought the VSX-822 Pioneer, mainly to experience Pandora directly on the receiver. Have been able to setup virtually all other aspects of the receiver well. but Pandora is giving problems.
- I have updated the firmware successfully to 1.059.
- network, Internet radio and Airplay are all fully setup and working well.
To describe all steps...
- use the Network button to go to Internet Radio...
- press Network button again to go to Pandora screen... immediately get message connecting...
less than a second get Server Error which lasts for ~ 5 seconds
then the folder Pandora appears and stays on screen
- when pressing any of the keys... [Rt arrow] or [Enter] or [X] Top Menu
immediately get... connecting... then Server Error for 5 seconds then folder Pandora screen.
I am not sure of the required steps to input my Pandora account info.
Must I get beyond this Server Error to enter my account? If so... How?
Do I do enter account info elsewhere in the VSX-822?
Do I enter account info into a Pioneer App for iPhone? If so, which is the best app to use?
I tried the Pioneer ControlApp (June 2011)
- this can setup the vsx & get basic control, but cannot set Pandora
Tried other Pioneer Apps, including... iControlAV2012, iControlAV2, iControlAV,
- was not able to get these properly connected to the VSX-822, thus did not seem to work.
Any advise regarding... best Pioneer Control App
and proper Pandora setup method would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
