To clarify - with a home network and an iPad ... I can play iPad/iTunes movies on my connected TV via Airplay, and control this unit via an iPad app? Or is that the 475?

No, you can't use airplay with this model. You can connect it with a USB cable. The later models are airplay capable.

I'm pretty sure you have to turn on the unit first, meaning, I don't think it has auto on when Airplay is engaged. Honestly, I bought this and returned it because it had so many glitches. Airplay was often unstable... it's too bad--this little system has a lot of potential but ultimately isn't worth it. For the same or less money, you can get a decent receiver, a dedicated Apple TV for Airplay, and a couple of decent speakers. That's what I did and it's much better.

If you have an Apple TV the only reason would be to control your Tv from the iPhone/iPod. Not much else. The Apple TV does everything pretty well. That said the iPhone app allows you to stream pictures and type directly. The phone does not turn on or off the TV so not much work there. If it were my choice I'd just use the Apple TV.

No. They can not. As an FYI - this device is not an "authorized" apple device. Trying to play a movie on my iPad to a TV via HDMI is a hit and miss. Mostly miss as i will receive an error indicating unauthorized device. For me it was a bad purchase.

Yes to the 1st Question - I have one of this and an Apple TV on my home network and can select which one to play the music from my iPad.No to the 2nd question - I do not have Airfoil on iOS device and have no issue playing music from iOS and android device.

I assume you are accessing wireless, I have run into this problem once with whole home DirectTV. Just made sure It was connected to this router and my IPAD used an ID from that router (ex. WD75000).

No, this is only a signal converter. For using Airplay you would need an apple tv.

AirPlay? sorry. I'm android user so, I don't know about iPhone's... .. anyway I did't input any code. Just power on(insert usb port) and connect by wifi then I connected my phone to sabrent. .. And play. That's all.

Yes. I can only speak for the iPad and iPhone. There is an app from Denon that least you switch sources and audio modes. I haven't tried it with a second zone yet, but I believe that is supported. The AirPlay support is pretty good as well. If you start streaming to it (built in support) it will automatically turn itself on.

No. It only transmits over your local wifi, so your iPad has to be within range of your home network.

I have an iPad (gen 1) and hook it up all the time with one of the auxiliary inputs and it works fine. You CAN'T use the docking station for the ipad, only an iphone or ipod will work there. So when you use the ipad you don't get any on screen info on your TV like you do when you use the ipod or iphone. The sound is really good and the base is way better than you would believe coming from the small sub. Very nice "all in one" system.

Yes you can. You can stream from any Airplay device. I just tested it from my AppleTV and it works fine.

Currently (May 2014) the Onkyos don't do Airplay natively in the receiver. Maybe it will be fixed with a firmware update? This is a bizarre "un-feature", since just about every other AV 2013/2014 receiver in the market at these prices does have AirPlay. After some googling... There is an accessory called the Onkyo DS-A5, that will "add" AirPlay to this receiver, but it is an absolutely pointless device, and is now no longer sold. It is a RRP $199 unit that has Ethernet and WiFi (for AirPlay) and an old iPod port (not Lightning). Output is via digital Toslink and analogue - no special dock to the receiver. If you want AirPlay and want an Onkyo, get the AppleTV. It's under $100 and does video as well as audio. And Netflix and lots of other things besides.

Agree with @JoeDubbz, there is an app, but unfortunately it's not got an airplay feature, the best option is unfortunately an iPad, which you can get airplay functionality with to display the screen as you see it, or there are softwares on the internet that can push this item via airplay from your Mac or PC.See discussion thread: Apple TV and Amazon Prime Streaming

I think it will depend on how you are playing the movies. Or what software or ap you are using Example - I can watch movies on iTunes via AirPlay on the 1050.
