HEOS accounts on one receiver?

[richwhite08]

I just bought a Marantz PM7000N and have made an account to create playlists and save favourite stations. Is it possible to have multiple HEOS accounts on the one receiver, so my wife and I can have our own stuff separated?

I have a PM700N too! yes just get your wife too create her own account but you cant both be on at the same time .

Ah ok so probably best to just share one, or is it easy to log in and out?

do you have any tips for the PM7000N overall? We’ve only had it plugged in for about an hour so haven’t explored it much yet

Its a brilliant bit of kit , ive only had mine just over a month so still learning . Wifi and bluetooth take time too set up i just stick too Spotify.

I’ve got the Wi-Fi on because I use Apple Music so need AirPlay, but thinking of using an Ethernet

Depends on how your MBPS are ? do a speed test .

Ours is really good, and it’s right next to the router. Just figured Ethernet would help if we had any slow days

if it s not fast its pointless.

It said to use my iOS device but nothing happened. Thankfully only took a minute to add my password though

I know this is an old thread, but I found it looking for this HEOS answer (boo! not having two accounts at once...), but I can add something tangential here for the future.

I know Apple calls it "AirPlay", but it doesn't actually have to work over WiFi. It will still work fine if you use ethernet. It will stream equally well from either a WiFi iPad or an ethernet iMac/PC on the same network.

Also - it isn't all about speed (the 'MBPS') as someone implied: Yes WiFi is plenty fast. Ethernet is probably faster in most cases (pointlessly). However - I still use Ethernet on any device that is convenient to a router/swtich/port - mostly because it just declutters the airwaves.

If you are streaming from one WiFi device to another on a standard network topology, that data is travelling the WiFi twice in most circumstances: source->router and then router->target , taking more than its fair share of radio bandwidth.

The only real benefits in using WiFi for a device that sits on a shelf are convenience or fewer cables - both fair.
