A:Answer I have this speaker in my study, and an Aventage RX-A3050 receiver, which does have Musiccast, in my family room. The Musiccast app is separate from the AV Controller app. You will be able to use the Musiccast app to access your NAS (called Server in the app) and Internet sources for this speaker. You cannot however do whole-house music by synchronizing the speaker with your receiver, because your receiver doesn't have that capability. That's the only drawback. Otherwise, with your current receiver you would have a fine, independent, 2-zone music installation that could play two different music sources simultaneously.
