To stream Pandora or Spotify, do I have to have a phone or tablet? I'd like to get a receiver that has the app built in. Similar to Netflix on a tv.

Yes, the apps are built in to the receiver as well as Internet radio. All you need is a wireless connection or cable.

Pandora does not require a phone or tablet you can create an account via your home PC then access it straight off the screen, the Spotify does require a tablet or phone to start it every time

I am not usign Pandora neither Spotify but i do use Rdio (is the same). The receiver is compatible with Airplay so the only thing you need is to have your tablet of phone to the same network. The downside is that you are not able to airplay from a device different than a Mac. However i am considering that Mac is far more reliable. I am capable to stream without troubles

I just bought one June 30, 2015 and mine streams pandora and tuein if i choose source=music services. Once you get the streaming source you want, you turn off the tv.

don't know how many I usually just listen to Pandora but it works with Netflix if you connect a cable to your modem and then one to your aMp if you have a Yamaha amp. Nice & solid.

You should be able to stream pandora but I think you have to use the remote control that comes with the player to control volume. Its a great music player, looks great, but the remote control sucks. only bad thing

I have not found a way to do so. I try to play Pandora via the web browser provided but it says i need to download the app. Good finding a way. If you do, can you provide me with the information. Ill do the same if I find a way.

I have not tried using the built in Pandora, but yes.....you can watch TV and have the audio stream from a wireless device using the bluetooth feature. I did it using an ipad while having the football game on.

The Pandora app on the unit only works with iphones but you can stream Pandora from your phone through the units bluetooth app just fine. But you can only control by phone

Yes on the speakers and wifi just hook/setup what you need leave out what you don't. It's kinda nice to use Pandora or any other music provider on the receiver without having at least 2 devices on. For example, must Blue Rays nowadays have internet but then you need to have at least both the receiver and Blue Ray on all the time Vs just the receiver if it would have internet.

Your good. I stream pandora and YouTube to my head unit through bluetooth. I also had a toggle switch to bypass the settings so I can watch DVD when I'm driving(I know bad idea) but I like having the option.

This is a Wi-Fi Stream player in which no additional services are included. If you have access to Netflix it can access it through your Wi-Fi system, if you have access to Pandora on your computer and have a modem with Wi-Fi included or a separate Wi-Fi transmitter attached to your home network, then you should be able to access Pandora. It is important to note that the #1 choice on this stream player is Netflix and is the top center button on the remote. You might want to do more research on-line regarding what Pandora provides.

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.

I'm not sure, I dont stream music, but I know the navigation program I use still comes from my phone if I'm on the line. I hope that helps!

If your phone will play it, it should work with this. I don't use Spotify, but Pandora, Youtube, any video on Chrome have all gone to the speaker.

I can stream from my Android. ...so I'm assuming you can do it from iPhone. This might be the right time for you to drop that zero and get a droid.

I am assuming you have an Android phone? And yes, you are correct, you can stream music from your phone to this receiver. I do it all the time from my Samsung Galaxy S4.

Sold the car I had the unit in a while ago but I know it has a 3.5 mm auxiliary jack to plug into your phone. You could output Pandora that way but as for streaming it through the dock connector, I'm not sure. It's been a while since I've used it. Hope this helps! It's very easy to install and all in all a great unit.
