Using airplay to play music

Thanks Miche11e_P for the response. As I mentioned in my post, I was able to play music from my iPhone to my stereo receiver for years with no password required. Then, all of a sudden, a password was required, which meant that I haven't been able to use airplay from that day until now. So, the first thing I did once I got the error message was to call Onkyo's help line, and their representative had no answer for me. Thinking that I possibly connected with an untrained person on the helpline, I called a second time, spoke to a new person, who also had no answer for me. Finally, on my third call to Onkyo, the representative told me to try 0000 as my password. I tried 0000 and that didn't work. I still get the same message whenever I try to use airplay.

Problem Solved! I took your advice and contacted Onkyo again. This time I got a reply telling me that I needed to refer to page 38 of the TX-8160 manual and "clear the password that was created manually in the settings of the receiver". I did this and NOW I CAN USE AIRPLAY AGAIN TO PLAY MUSIC ON MY STEREO. Thank you so much for your help!
