WILL THIS PLAY PANDORA THRU BLU RAY?

If you have a BD player that streams Pandora and the output is properly connected to this receiver (hopefully you will use HDMI cables & not the old RCA cables), it should play the audio seamlessly. The only downside is you'll probably have to leave your TV on to see the Pandora info. I stream music from both my PS3 & Apple TV through this tuner pretty easily but I have to leave the TV on to see the station & song info. Hope this helps.

No, it plays Blu-ray but burns DVD and CD's. You would need to purchase an external Blu-ray burner that connects to USB.

It only plays what you send to it through Bluetooth or the line-in port. If you have a compact disc player with a line-out and a cord, then the answer is yes.

I'm using it to play My mp3 over a stereo system. Without a Jack for accessories. I don't know what Pandora is ,but if it has a ear phone jack you should be able to transmit to a radio

No, if the Phillips blu ray is outputting a digital signal you need to convert it to analog first.

Yes you should be able to pair your phone with the unit and then play the Pandora audio through it.

The answer to both would be yes. I don't think I've ever heard of a Blu-ray player that won't play DVD's as well.

Joe the Anime Fan,Yes, it can play Blu-ray movies. It comes with Blu-ray compatible PowerDVD 10 software for playback.

I don't know if the music can be played via Pandora. It is my opinion, DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT. This is not worth the time and/or aggravation. You should spend the extra money and get a better product. As Matt as stated and being polite, it is a POS.

yes. the app interface is closer to the stand-alone Pandora offers and easy playing of music from your media server. Caveat, TVersity only outputs MPS format, Windows Media Player outputs correctly (and may be just a display issues -- according to Yamaha).

Yes, it does. In fact, all blu-ray players are backward compatible so it can play your regular DVDs and even upscale them which improves the quality over standard dvd players. Blu-ray players also play many kind of formats such as music CDs, mp3 CDs, jpg. CDs and several more. Streaming ability of services like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, etc. is actually why most people buy such systems. In other words, you get much more than just blu-ray capability...

Yes it will. I use Pandora on my Samsung S4 and play it through DS8550. Sounds great

Yes, but you must have the software that will do it...VLC media player is free and will play blu rays

How I play Pandora through the radio is using the blue tooth button not through the Pandora button.you won't get album art or title and artist but it will play.

Yes this unit does have pandora support. But its not a special pandora "mode". The unit has BT audio mode, so anything you play while being BT paired and on BT audio mode on the head unit, will play through your speakers. Youtube videos also play through BT audio mode also.

My previous answer only applies to downloaded music. Don't know about pandora. It will NOT play podcasts.
