Like I wrote above: that is a Google requirement for Chromecast built in. There is nothing HK can do about that. If you want to use Chromecast you will have to play by Google’s rules.You have to use the Google app. So to use a very expensive Harman Kardon hardware you have paid for in full, you have to fork over your data to Google.
“…You will first have to set it up through Google Home to be able to use it with any other functions, it runs on the Google Home firmware, without completing this initial setup you cant use it.….”
Then how long will Google and Harman Kardon commit to supporting your access to your settings, Harman Kardon refused to say or commit.
You can however use the Amp fine with bluetooth or Airplay without using this app.
you still need the webinterface though to control treble, cross-over freq. etc.
