To initiate AirPlay streaming to the AVR:

Button
• To initiate AirPlay streaming from an iPod, iPhone or iPad device, tap the AirPlay button
on the device’s screen and select “HK AVR171S_1710S” in the speakerselection list
that appears.
The AirPlay audio stream will break in (the OSD will display an “AirPlay activated”
message) and interrupt the source that is currently playing through the AVR. If the AVR is
in the Sleep mode, it will turn on and begin playing the AirPlay audio stream. The music
playback screen will appear on the OSD.
Use the remote’s Transport Control buttons to control playback.
Listening to vTuner (Internet Radio)
Your AVR’s Network connection brings you a world of MP3- and WMA-format streams via
the Internet. After you have successfully connected to your home network as described in
Connect to Your Home Network, on page 18, and set up the network as described in Set
Up the Network, on page 24, press the Network Source Selector button on the remote.
Each press toggles between the Network and vTuner screens.
With the vTuner screen (above) displayed, the AVR will automatically connect to the
Internet via the www.radioharmankardon.com portal. To select a stream use the Up/
Down buttons to search by category.
NOTE: The categories displayed vary by region.
To create a Favourites list, log onto www.radioharmankardon.com from your computer.
Enter your either you AVR’s MAC address as its ID # (the MAC address is on the Network
Settings screen in the System Settings menu - AVR 171S/AVR 1710S only) or your AVR’s
vTuner ID # (the vTuner ID # is found on the Help page on the vTuner main menu - AVR
161S/AVR 1610S only) and create an account. Favourites that you select on the Web site
will be available on the AVR.
Navigation is similar to other menus. Scroll to the desired item and press the OK button to
select it. To return to the previous menu level (or to clear the top-level menu from view),
press the Back/Exit button or the Left button.
The AVR is not able to connect to streams that require site registration or other interaction
prior to playing the stream. If the AVR cannot connect to the stream, a “Network Error”
message will appear briefly, and the Internet Radio screen will remain essentially blank.
Listening to Media via Your Home Network
Your AVR can access MP3 and WMA audio media that is stored on other DLNA-compatible
devices that are connected to the same network as your AVR.
MP3 compatibility: Mono or stereo, contstant bit rates (CBR) from 8kbps to 320kbps,
variable bit rates (VBR) from lowest to highest quality, with sample rates from 8kHz –
48kHz.
WMA compatibility: Ver. 9.2 basic, stereo CBR with 32kHz – 48kHz sampling rate and
40kbps – 192kbps bit rate, mono CBR with 8kHz – 16kHz sampling rate and 5kbps –
16kbps bit rate, VBR Pass Encoding and Quality Encoding 10 – 98, 44kHz and 48kHz
sampling rate.
Before you can access files located on other devices via the network, each device
must first give permission to share files with the AVR:
To share media on PCs:
1. Open Windows Media Player.
2. Open the Library menu and select Media Sharing. The Media Sharing window will
appear.
3. Check the “Share My Media” box. An icon for the AVR will appear in the window.
4. Select the AVR icon, select “Allow,” then select “OK.”
The computer’s WMA and MP3 media should now be available to the AVR.
To share media on other types of computers, operating systems or media software:
Check the instructions for the computer, operating system or media player.
To listen to shared media, press the Network Source Selector button. (If vTuner appears
as the source, press the button a second time to switch from the Internet Radio source to
the Network source.) The Home Network screen will appear.
The screen will list by name all devices on the network that allow sharing. Use the Up/
Down and OK buttons to browse the content stored in the device’s media player library.
Scroll to the desired item and press the OK button to select it. To return to the previous
menu level (or to clear the menu from view from the top level), press the Back/Exit
button.
NOTE: Although video content may appear in the menu, the AVR does not support video
playback from the network connection.
