UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ  (11/4/11) -- Onkyo has introduced a new iPod touch/iPhone App to provide full wireless remote control over the company's 2010 and 2011 networked A/V receivers. The new "Onkyo Remote 2" App will add expanded multi-room control and is presented by a completely revamped graphical look.

This new app is compatible with Onkyo’s existing RI (Remote Interactive) system, allowing owners of network-capable Onkyo home theater and hi-fi systems to use their iPod touch, iPhone handset as an all-in-one remote controller for multiple components.

Furthermore, with the release of the Onkyo Remote 2, iPod touch/iPhone users are now able to control output in individual zones in a multi-room distributed audio set-up.

Available as a free download, the application offers a number of benefits to Onkyo home theater and hi-fi owners, not least among them the ability to quickly and easily access commonly used controls. These include play, stop, skip, and pause; volume, bass, and treble adjustment; listening mode and input source selection; network source selection; and radio station.

Perhaps best of all, users can also enjoy their treasured digital music libraries, as well as streamed music and Internet radio, in spectacular Onkyo sound.

The Onkyo Remote 2 app is compatible with all network-ready Onkyo A/V receivers released in 2011 and 2010, as well as the TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver. (Earlier models may require a firmware update.)

This new release further demonstrate Onkyo’s commitment to enhancing the home entertainment experience.
