Denon AVR-X3900H / Denon AVR-X2900H / Denon AVR-X1800H / Marantz CINEMA 50 / Marantz Cinema 70s: permit standby wake after an already working app loses the receiver

App operates while awake; Network Control explicitly Off In Standby.

Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1

When this guide applies

Only the explicitly listed models and their separately cited exact regional manuals. App operates while awake; Network Control explicitly Off In Standby.

Connection scope: Wi-Fi / Ethernet network audio. Symptom: The control app cannot find my device.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

Checks and possible outcomes

Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

step-0

Does the supported HEOS or the exact brand AVR Remote app already control this receiver while awake on the same network?

An unverified initial network or incompatible phone/app stops here.

Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.

If Yes, confirmed → Is Network Control currently Off In Standby?
If No → Stop at the unconfirmed condition
If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-1

Is Network Control currently Off In Standby?

Defaults are not proof of the present state; no toggle of an unknown setting.

Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.

If Yes, confirmed → Do you accept greater standby consumption to retain network control?
If No → Stop at the unconfirmed condition
If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-2

Do you accept greater standby consumption to retain network control?

Retain the original setting if energy saving was intentional.

Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.

If Yes, confirmed → Set Network > Network Control to Always On
If No → Stop at the unconfirmed condition

step-3

Set Network > Network Control to Always On

Leave Wi-Fi credentials, IP addresses and CEC unchanged.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation, then confirm it was possible.

step-4

May normal standby be tested with no live session or update running?

This interrupts the current awake session.

step-5

Put the receiver into normal standby

Do not disconnect mains.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation, then confirm it was possible.

Send the ordinary wake command from the already verified app

Use the same known network route and target unit.

Possible result

Checks completed — report the actual result

Completion does not automatically mean the problem is solved. Report what actually happened; no physical test or measured repair is claimed.

steps completed

Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

Possible result

Stop at the unconfirmed condition

A required setup or response was not confirmed. Retain the actual observation and consult the exact source/partner manual or official support. Do not escalate to a reset, update installation, internal repair or unsafe wiring change.

next support

Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

Possible result

A required fact is unknown

Confirm the actual model, connection, partner capability and state before continuing. Do not guess a menu, interrupt an installation or modify a live source by trial and error.
