## Introduction
This Logitech Media Server plugin will turn on and off a networked Denon or Marantz amplifier/receiver when a Squeezebox player is turned on/off or a song is played. The plugin will optionally set one of the Quick Select modes or AVR input sources, and set the volume of the Squeezebox to match the amplifier volume. The user can set an optional delay value after the AVR is powered on and set the maximum volume level they wish the amplifier to be set to when controlling the Squeezebox. The user can also modify the AVR audio settings during playback when using the iPeng (iOS) and Squeezer (Android) client apps or the Material Skin LMS interface.
This plugin will turn on and off a networked Denon or Marantz amplifier/receiver when an LMS player is turned on/off or a song is played. The plugin can also be configured to invoke one of the AVR's Quick Select modes or set the input source after powering it on, and will set the initial volume of the player to match the amplifier volume. An optional delay value can be specified before issuing commands after the AVR is powered on, as well as the maximum volume level that the amplifier should be set to when controlling the player. The user can also modify the AVR audio settings during playback when using the iPeng (iOS), Squeezer (Android) or Squeeze Ctrl (Android) client apps or the Material Skin LMS plugin interface.

The plugin uses the Denon/Marantz serial protocol over a wireless or wired network and therefore a network connection between the Logitech Media Server server and the AVP/AVR must be available.

The plugin has been tested with the Denon AVP-A1HD, as well as numerous Denon and Marantz AVR's, with the Squeezebox Receiver, Touch and software-based players such as Squeezelite. It should work with any Denon or Marantz AVR that supports the Denon/Marantz serial protocol over a network. The plugin has also been tested with the Apple iOS devices (Touch, iPhone and iPad) using the iPeng application and Android devices using the Squeezer application, as well as the LMS Material Skin interface. It should also work with Logitechs smart phone controllers.
