hi!

I wrote to the list a few days ago looking for an IOS App that would control 
and identify DLNA compatible devices, I found one and its just called 
"Controller", typing DLNA into the search box of the Apps Store will locate the 
App.

The App is available for free and is mostly accessible though I did label a few 
buttons of the App to make it more usable.

I have several DLNA devices on my home network here including my SangeanWRF28D 
multi function radio, my Denon AVR2113 Suround-Sound receiver and my Pioneer 
Wireless Music system in the kitchen, being able to control my Wireless Music 
System - what it plays and how it plays - from the iPhone using DLNA was 
something I'd been trying to do for ages, the Pioneer Music System I have is an 
older model which isn't supported directly via the Pioneer Controller App it 
seems.

I'll place a manual up for this system so those who are interested can take a 
peak.

As I said, its an older model but is going quite cheap on eBay, certainly worth 
the $150 I've seen it for.

The system offers many functional features inclding DLNA compatibility 
obviously, AirPlay streaming, direct Wi-Fi access for those times when you're 
not in range of a Wi-Fi network etc.

One of the nice featurres I like about the Pioneer System is its IOS 
connectivity, the IOS device doesn't sit in a dock, rather it connects to the 
System directly using the charging cable that comes with your IOS device and 
that's a far better idea in my view because it means that the System will work 
with whatever IOS device you have, wither it be an iPhone 3GS or the latest 5S, 
an iPad of any generation etc.

I have concerns about IOS docks, some of them are extremely flimsy and break 
easily so the problem is solved by the USB connecting lead arrangement.
