Hi. The Yamaha app is not totally inaccessible. You can control the volume, choose your input channel and some other things I don't remember. I thought this app could replace the remote control, but it can't. And there are lots of features which is not accessible, but some features does work when you've got used to it. I think Sonos is the most accessible solution. Best regards: Søren Jensen Mail & MSN: [email protected] Website: http://www.coolfortheblind.dk/
