Spotify connect only works for a few seconds then goes back to local play

Hello,

i have a problem with spotify connect on my onkyo reciver ( TX-NR646)

when is use spotify on my samsung galaxy s6 i go to availible devices and i see my onkyo there, when i select it it plays for like 5 seconds and then it returns the sound to my phone.

if i do it again and i lock my screen it keeps playing on the onkyo, but if i unlock my smartphone it again returns the sound to my phone.

so i cant switch songs or even use my phone for anything without getting the sound back to my phone.

somehow it doesnt stay connected to the onkyo.

I had similar issues with my Onkyo receiver and had some luck by unplugging it for a few seconds (not just powering it off, but completely removing the plug from your outlet). 

I ultimately bought a Google Chromecast Audio to replace this functionality.

I sometimes need to do this to be able to "find" my onkyo in available players again, but it doesn't solve the problem of loosing connection.

every month or so I need to unplug the onkyo because it looses all network capabilities.
