[Q-StiX]

hi, i got this receiver with no remote, but i noticed its supposed to be smart phone compatible... what do i have to do to get this thing working? lol... i cant fine tune the sounds with out it. i know i can buy a new 1 online, but its $50 and takes time ETC... any ideas? or maybe even a way to hook it to the PC, it dont have to be wireless as long as i can adjust the settings. thanx alot!

Have you downloaded the Yamaha AV Controller app for your phone, yet?

Did you download the owners manual yet?

Why, yes I did.

Why, yes I did.

Somehow, I figured YOU did, but I guess I wasn't clear enough in that the question wasn't directed to you.

That's odd. I looked at both the iOS and Android versions online, and they are both fully functional applications...and they are free. Is the app that you got called "AV Controller"?

If you haven't seen this, yet, then this video might help.

He needs the av remote to go through the settings in order to allow the app to link with the receiver via wi-fi

But supposedly u should be able to do all that through the main controls on the face plate of the receiver, u just need to download the Manuel online and it will explain the process step by step
