AVR Maestro MC

The premium remote for Yamaha MusicCast.

Same polish as AVR Maestro - built for Yamaha.

A premium, purpose-built remote for Yamaha MusicCast AV receivers, pre-processors, and sound bars. The sibling to AVR Maestro, rebuilt on Yamaha's MusicCast protocol - power, volume, inputs, Cinema DSP and Surround:AI sound programs, multi-zone control, music browsing, and a YPAO surface, direct to your receiver over Wi-Fi.

In development - coming soon to the App Store and Google Play

Features

Every Yamaha control, one clean app.

AVR Maestro MC is the Yamaha counterpart to AVR Maestro - the same architecture, theming, and one-handed UX, adapted to Yamaha's MusicCast (YXC) protocol. Here is what it is built to do at launch.

No. 01

Dashboard, Power & Volume

A live dashboard for your receiver - power, master volume with fine steps, mute, and the current input and sound program at a glance. Everything echoes real device state, never an optimistic guess.

Inputs & Sources

Switch between every input your receiver exposes - HDMI, AV, audio, tuner, and the MusicCast network sources. Clean names, quick selection, and only the inputs your model actually has.

Cinema DSP, Surround:AI & Sound Programs

Pick from Yamaha's full sound-program library - Cinema DSP 3D, Surround:AI, Straight, movie and music DSP modes - plus Pure Direct, Extra Bass, Adaptive DRC, and dialogue level. The Yamaha sound engine, at your thumb.

Multi-Zone Control

Independent control of the main zone plus Zone 2, Zone 3, and Zone 4 where your receiver supports them - power, volume, input, and mute per zone. Send different sources to different rooms, all from one screen.

Music Browsing

Browse and play from the MusicCast sources your receiver already knows - net radio, USB, DLNA server, and the streaming services linked on the device - with now-playing metadata, transport controls, and presets.

YPAO & Setup Surface

Review and toggle the settings that shape your room - YPAO results, tone controls, subwoofer trim, and the audio options MusicCast exposes - without digging through the on-screen menu on your TV.

Android Home-Screen Widgets

The same widget framework as AVR Maestro - power, volume, and input tiles on your Android home screen, so the most common actions never need the app open.

Multi-Receiver Switcher

Own more than one MusicCast receiver? Switch between them in a tap. Each keeps its own name, inputs, zones, and layout - the app adapts to whichever device you point it at.

Compatibility

Built for MusicCast-generation Yamaha.

AVR Maestro MC speaks Yamaha's MusicCast (YXC) protocol, which covers Yamaha AV gear from 2016 onward. It auto-detects what your model exposes and adapts the UI to match - zones and features your receiver doesn't have simply don't appear.

AV Receivers

  • RX-V series (2016 and newer)
  • RX-A AVENTAGE series
  • TSR / RX-A x80, x70, x60 lines
  • MusicCast-enabled models

Pre-Processors & Sound Bars

  • CX-A series AV pre-amplifiers
  • MusicCast BAR sound bars
  • YAS / SR MusicCast sound bars
  • MusicCast-enabled audio gear

Connection

  • Local Wi-Fi - direct to the receiver
  • Yamaha YXC protocol (REST / JSON)
  • No Yamaha / MusicCast account required
  • No cloud relay

Mobile Platforms

  • iPhone and iPad
  • Android phone and tablet
  • Light and dark themes
  • Android home-screen widgets

MusicCast required: AVR Maestro MC controls Yamaha gear that supports MusicCast (generally 2016 and newer). Yamaha receivers older than the MusicCast generation use a different protocol and are not supported. The exact model list will be confirmed at launch as real-hardware validation completes.

How it works

Direct to your receiver. No cloud relay.

AVR Maestro MC talks straight to your Yamaha receiver over your local network using the MusicCast protocol. Your commands never touch a MiyaraHub server.

1

Find Your Receiver

On the same Wi-Fi network, AVR Maestro MC discovers your MusicCast receiver automatically - or you can point it at the receiver's IP address directly. No pairing codes, no account sign-in.

2

It Adapts to Your Model

The app reads what your receiver supports - zones, inputs, sound programs, and sources - and builds the interface to match. You only see controls your hardware actually has.

3

Control Everything

Power, volume, inputs, sound programs, zones, and music - every action round-trips to the receiver and reflects real device state. Add a widget, switch a zone, or change the DSP mode from your pocket.

Security & Privacy

Local only. No account. No cloud relay.

Like every MiyaraHub app, AVR Maestro MC is built local-first. No MiyaraHub account, no cloud relay, no data collection beyond crash reporting.

No Cloud Relay

Every command travels directly between your phone and your receiver over your local Wi-Fi. Nothing is routed through external servers.

No Account Needed

No sign-up, no email, no MiyaraHub or Yamaha login required to control your own receiver. Install it, find your device, and you're in.

Minimal Analytics

Crash reporting only, to help us fix bugs and widen model compatibility. No usage tracking, no ads, no data sales.

Network Permission Only

The only device permission required is network access, used exclusively to reach your Yamaha receiver on your local network.

Your Data Stays Yours

Receiver names, zone layouts, and presets live on your device. We never see your setup, your rooms, or what you listen to.

Honest by Design

The app never fakes device state. If the receiver hasn't confirmed a change, the app doesn't pretend it happened - what you see is what the hardware reports.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Everything we can tell you about AVR Maestro MC today.

Is AVR Maestro MC the same app as AVR Maestro? +
No - it is a separate app. AVR Maestro controls Denon and Marantz receivers. AVR Maestro MC is a distinct app for Yamaha MusicCast receivers, built on Yamaha's protocol. They share the same design language, polish, and UX, but they are different products for different hardware, published separately.
Which Yamaha receivers are supported? +
AVR Maestro MC works with Yamaha AV gear that supports MusicCast - generally models from 2016 onward, including RX-V and RX-A AVENTAGE receivers, CX-A pre-processors, and MusicCast sound bars. The app adapts to the specific inputs, zones, and sound programs your model exposes. The confirmed model list will be published at launch as real-hardware validation completes.
Is it affiliated with Yamaha? +
No. AVR Maestro MC is an independent, third-party app by MiyaraHub Technologies LLC. It is not created, endorsed, sponsored, or affiliated with Yamaha Corporation.

No. AVR Maestro MC talks directly to your receiver over your local Wi-Fi using the MusicCast protocol. There is no account, no cloud login, and no MiyaraHub sign-up needed to control your own hardware.
When will it be released? +
AVR Maestro MC is in active development. It will launch on both the App Store and Google Play once real-hardware validation across the MusicCast lineup is complete. We would rather ship it right than ship it early - follow along or get notified at launch from the support page.
How much will it cost? +
Pricing will be confirmed closer to launch. Like the rest of the AVR Maestro family, it will be a straightforward paid app with no subscription and no ads. Final pricing is set at release.
