Internet (FY12 or later models). The menu is different from AVR GUI. For
instance, Recent played, radio.Marantz.com are not displayed on the app
usually. But, according to the timing, the app reflects the AVR's GUI temporarily.
In this case, these items on the app can be seen briefly. Even in such case, they
do not prevent user operations.

main device (Network chip device). After upgrading the device with fixing this
problem, it will be available in the future updated App again.

synchronize with a value of the main unit's Slideshow Interval.
10. If your customer complains that Marantz Remote App needs a long time to
get content lists, please explain it comes from a limitation of a combination
