The main receiver page. Usual the screen will be switched to the network services if you select the service from the services dropdown. You can reach the network services directly, if you press the N Button on the right edge of the page. Usual the screen will be switched to the radio services if you select the service from the services dropdown. You can reach the radio services directly, if you press the R Button on the right edge of the page.

The page for network/online services. With the button on the left edge, you can return to the main receiver page. Usual you should see the screen menu options on the right button list. For timing issues, the list migth be empty, if you selct the service. In this caseyou have to press OK once to get into the service menu. I am working on this issue.

The page for radio playback. With the button on the left edge, you can return to the main receiver page.

The main page, dropdown for network services. The available network service will be pulled from the receiver

The main page, dropdown for inputs/source control. The available sources will be pulled from the receiver

The main page, dropdown for audio effects. The available audio effects will be pulled from the receiver. Note: The names for the audio effects may differ from the display, as the receiver just returns a number, and the correct name to the number might be different on different models.

If the dropdowns are empty, the definition struggled to get valid receiver information from the device. Try to press at the receiver symbol to pull them again. Some ONKYO receiver have a weak network stack so the network communication gets broken for a while. Nothing I can fix.
