Which category do I pick for a Marantz AV 30 (or any current Denon/Marantz)?

In short

Use "All Models Zone 1" with port 23 (Type: Receiver, Brand: Marantz). Older guidance saying "2016+ Models" refers to the same integration — it was renamed — so if instructions send you looking for a "2016+ Models" category that isn't there, "All Models Zone 1" is the one you want. The fastest path is the Compatibility Assistant's "Add Manually (23)" button, which fills everything in for you.

The exact picker values

Add Device → Type: Receiver → Brand: Marantz → Category: All Models Zone 1 → Port: 23, then enter the receiver's IP address. Zones 2 and 3 have their own entries if you use them. The same applies to current Denon models under the Denon brand.

Why some instructions name a category that doesn't exist

The network integration for modern Denon and Marantz receivers was once labeled "2016+ Models" and was later renamed "All Models" — same integration, new name. Guidance written against the old name (including older in-app compatibility text) can send you hunting for a category the picker no longer shows. If you see "2016+ Models" in any instructions, read it as "All Models."

Shouldn't it appear automatically?

Usually, yes — networked Denon/Marantz receivers are auto-discovered. If yours doesn't appear, the usual culprit is a mesh Wi-Fi system or access point filtering multicast traffic between wireless clients, which silently blocks discovery. Manual add with the values above works regardless, and a DHCP reservation for the receiver keeps it reliable.

One thing to avoid

The "AVR HTTP" port-80 option is for older HTTP-controlled Denon models — current receivers like the AV 30 don't serve that interface, and adding with it can appear to stall. Stick with All Models Zone 1 on port 23.
