Hello Dane coming in a bit late on the units message.
But How is the sensitivity of this f.m tuner in this unit?
And are there buttons on this receiver or is it touch screen to exactly
how easy is it to use before you get the app verses when you have the app?
Also is everything labeled in the app for this receiver or did you have
to label some buttons in the app so you can use it effectively?
One last thing this receiver can you put it in to a two channel mode if
you only have two speakers or you just wish to use two channels instead
of all six or seven that it has?

Hi!
Here's a message I sent to a Mac discussion list, the message doesn't
specifically discuss Mac's or iPhones, rather the eMail discusses a very nice
Denon AV Receiver I have and how I manage to access it, thought the list would
be interested and apologies if the message isn't quite on topic.

I've had the Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound Receiver for just over 3 months now and -
with the help of the Denon "remote App - the device is a joy to use, I can use
much of the functionality of the Receiver without the App but using the app gives me
so much access to so much more information on the receiver, its status and its
functions than the remote controller alone could do.
There are many points to this Receiver and - in some ways - I really do think that the word
"Receiver' is the wrong word to describe such a unit, perhaps "Entertainment" or
"Media" Center would be more accurate.
The Receiver has built-in Internet radio thanks to the vtuner Internet radio
system, allows access to Spotify, Last.Fm and so forth through the menu system
of the Receiver and through the Denon Remote app itself, you can even access
Podcasts and video services such as Flicker.
I won't write at length about the functionality of the Receiver through the app
as this would take around 3 weeks to sum up so perhaps if people are interested
enough then they can ask specific questions and I'll do my best to answer them
given the fare knowledge I now have of the Receiver gained over the last 3
months.
I would like to touch on what I regard as being an incredible feature of this
Receiver and its associated app and that is the built-in FM tuner and the
tuners RDS feature.
RDS stands for Radio Data System, this allows for transmission of data on the
FM band using a sub carrier of a transmitter, for example BBC Radio 4 could
transmit data alongside the audio signal which might display the name of the
current aired programme, the current time of day and so forth. Smooth FM might
use the RDS to display the current title and artist of the track playing or
what the next track might be.
In any event you can actually have your IOS device read the RDS data to you
from the Remote App, this is the first accessible way I've seen of accessing
RDS data.
