How do you turn it on when you want to use it? Is it in standby all the time ready for AirPlay or do you have to turn it on manually each time?

Turn it on with a touch switch and wait a minute or two for it to find the wireless connection. (Power saving mode.) Or, you hold the power switch down for several seconds and it will go into and stay in standby mode using some power to keep the connection.

There is an on off switch. If you leave it "on" it is connected to the network and you can connect to it any time without delay. You can power it down, in which case you will have to go through a power up cycle the next time you use the speaker. You have to turn the speaker on and off at the physical unit (or within its IR remote range if you use that). The speaker does not have a standby mode, but I do not see any issue with leaving it on all the time.

I didn't try, but I think you need to use the AirPlay to use Spotify. Spotify Connect connects via wi-fi router, and not AirPlay.

hey waves, can you please tell me how you made out with the itunes? I have been trying to find out the same answer before I purchase this receiver. Will I be able to just play my itunes from my computer since it and the receiver will be on the same network? I really like this receiver, and do not need the airplay- as long as this other method of accessing my music is available.Thanks for any help you can give me.

Yes... from the iphone app you can turn the unit on and off from standby. The power switch itself must remain on though. Works the same way from the actual remote.

Dear Abuzer, I am not passionate of computer science and get bored to death very soon with those useless manual (on paper or on line the are equally hopeless). So after a few attempts, I gave up and connected the consolette to the audio output jack of a spare apple base station. As a result it is now connected to the home wi-fi but not on its "own device". If I have time to waste in the future will give it another try

Hello John and thank you for your inquiry. The NAD D3020 does not support AirPlay. Although you could add an Apple Airport Express to it to enable AirPlay. We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks again, Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp sales team 1.877.744.1179

Solid purple represents that it is connected to wifi with the power on. Make sure the volume on the source media is up/unmuted. You may have to search around for a way to turn on airplay. I have not/do not/will not use an aux cable with this system because it bypasses the DAC in the unit itself. to take full advantage of this unit youll want to use the actual 30 pin/lightning connector or use via wifi.

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

It will automatically power up when connected, no button to turn it on. I leave mine connected to the power source in my car. It powers up when I start my car and is ready for streaming immediately. You will need to do your initial pairing to connect it to your device. After that, everything is automatic.

Can only use airplay. Video is hit or miss (device shows up as audio only most of the time) using iOS 7. Works fine with iOS 6 or android

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

Good question. I haven't done that. It does airplay. So I'm not sure. I will try to see you are able to turn on and off the receiver

Yes, and I had no idea this was a feature of this system until I accidentally turned on the Airplay on my computer before turning on the receiver. It does power on automatically. There is a slight delay before the stream kicks in.

I am not aware of any external option which shuts off the stand by mode. I usually just reach over and turn the volume off and then back on, if I know that I need instant response. I would say that most of the time it responds in a couple seconds when audio is being generated.

You need to turn it on with the switch. Once you do that it will connect to the last bluetooth device it was connected to. In case if you leave it on and it goes in standby sometimes you need to press the switch on the front side. So far I was able to connect it automatically although I used it for home purpose and not in car.

Yes but I don't know how you select the music! Select then disconnect the vga monitor or projector? I don't use airplay. I also had to change the audio to legacy for the old tv sound to work.
