Playing Music and Internet Radio from Synology to Yamaha Network Receiver RN500

In the video I will show you how I get Music and Internet Radio from my Synology NAS to my Yamaha network receiver

Thank you for the insight. It is astounding that Yamaha seem to have great products that are badly supported in terms of information.

Thank you for sharing it. I really appreciate it.

I have some questions. 1. Do you first have to go into the nas DSM to start the internet radio streaming? Or do you start the radio stream from the yamaha? 2. What happens when you turn off the yamaha or when you switch to another soundsource? Does the nas keep streaming the radiosignal, or does the streaming stop? I just bought my first nas and want to setup internet radio. Just waiting for the harddisks to arrive from amazon and then I can get going... Your KZbin movie was very usefull for me.

As long as the nas is powered on, you can control from yamaha. Only need nas for the first setup. If you change source the stream stops. Hope this help and enjoy .

Can this device connect to the network only using a wired ethernet connection? Or is there WiFi?

[@dipenkanani7988]

The amp in the video is not wifi enabled so I bought a wiresless to wired ethernet adapter.

wouldnt it be more logical to select the radio station or music file on the laptop, going thru the radio menus seems like a blow

[@dipenkanani7988]

My nas is always on and is very energy efficient, so it makes sense for me.
