## Description

**Marantz AVR Remote** turns your iPhone or iPad into a convenient control center for compatible Marantz AV receivers and network AV pre-amplifiers. Adjust power, volume, inputs, ECO mode, settings, Smart Select, and surround modes from a simple interface.

The app supports HEOS network browsing, automatic HEOS app switching, Marantz CD control through a remote cable, user manual access, and multiple languages. Compatibility is limited to select Marantz models from 2014 through 2026, including the CINEMA series, SR and NR receivers, and AV pre-amplifiers. A compatible device firmware update and enabled Network Control setting may be required.

## Review summary

Users largely report instability and reliability problems with Marantz AVR Remote. Frequent crashes, updates that disrupt functionality, and poor maintenance are common. Connectivity to receivers is often unreliable, with many instances of the app failing to connect or reset settings. The UI is described as clunky and hard to navigate. Some users note that Ethernet can help stability and that browser/IP control exists, but these positives are outweighed by persistent bugs and poor overall usability.

### Pros

- Broad control over AVR features when the app is functioning
- Ethernet connectivity can provide more reliable control when it works
- Web/browser IP control is available as an alternative way to interact with the AVR

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and app instability across multiple iOS versions (crashes, freezing, not opening)
- Connectivity issues; difficulty consistently connecting to the receiver and maintaining control
- Updates often cause problems (bricking the app, removing features, or breaking compatibility) and the app feels poorly maintained
- Poor UI/UX and navigation (clunky, settings reset after changes, hard to find options like Zone 2 or Pure modes)
- Bugs affecting core functionality (mute button not working after updates, web control not functioning, volume/speaker controls unreliable)
