SINGAPORE – 04 September 2013 – Pioneer Electronics AsiaCentre has today announced the integration of a new music solution – Spotify Connect – into a range of home electronic products including Pioneer’s AV receivers from VSX-823 and above, and XW-SMA3 Wi-Fi® wireless speaker. The highly popular music streaming service created Spotify Connect as a simple and seamless solution to bring the Spotify service already available on smart devices into the home. “Pioneer users will now have even more entertainment choices as Spotify Connect adds another dimension to the existing music streaming services that are already built in to our products,” said Mr Masayoshi Ishikubo, Senior General Manager of Pioneer Electronics AsiaCentre.  Spotify Connect will seamlessly work over Wi-Fi, 3G or LAN, providing continuous playback even if connection type changes half-way through a song. Because the Spotify Connect service is a built-in source1, music started on compatible Pioneer speakers or AV receivers through the Spotify app on a mobile device continues to play even when the mobile device is no longer within range. Users have the freedom to move about without having to deal with a mobile device’s limited signal range, dropouts, or incoming phone calls that can disrupt or cut off music playback. And, unlike other wireless music solutions, using the feature does not drain the battery life of the user’s smart device because Spotify Connect transmission is directly on the Pioneer product. Pioneer’s receivers and wireless speaker combined with Spotify Connect provide listeners with high-quality audio playback and excellent performance anywhere in the home. To simplify connectivity and activate the Spotify Connect feature, users can simply install the updated Spotify app on an iPhone or iPad, touch the Connect icon, and all connected Pioneer devices will appear in the “Connected Menu.” Playlists from one compatible device can be seamlessly transitioned to another device without interruption. “Spotify Connect gives you effortless control of your music across your phone, tablet and now Pioneer home audio products with millions of songs built right in,” said Sten Garmark, VP Product management at Spotify. “Spotify Connect ensures your music enjoyment is simple, seamless and hassle free.” Compatible Pioneer products include: AV receivers: • SC-LX87 • SC-LX77 • SC-LX57 • SC-1223 • VSX-1123 • VSX-923 • VSX-823 Wireless speaker system: • XW-SMA3-K 1After installation of the firmware update.
