Airplay icon missing from iTunes on PC


Hello:  I know this is old school, but I have an extensive music library on iTunes which resides on my PC.  Up until a few days ago I was able t stream to my Marantz CR610.  And then the AirPlay icon vanished.  Have tried every fix possible from other communities / Apple (non-support).  Anyone have an idea of what to do?  My music is being held hostage...

Thanks,

Also...did you do a recent update on the Marantz?  I hada Marantz 7004 streamer, and it was buggy as all get up.  If you did a recent Marantz update and the problem started then, I would try to contact with Marantz (if you thought Apple support was bad...).  If you haven't done a recent update, then I would do so.  I am assuming that the Masrantz has an Ethernet or wi fi connection
AirPlay runs through iTunes, guess it doesn't matter if PC or Mac.  This Marantz has been a pain in my butt since 2014.  They have issues with Pandora - can't use it for a month while they do security patches.  The Marantz is updated, their customer service is beyond the worst.  The Marantz is Wi-Fi.

Thanks for responding.  Eventually this will get sorted out...
My Marantz 7004 isn't even supported anymore--only had it for 3 years--and the reviews that I have read for all Marantz streaming products are all caustic.  It's really sad that a company with their resources can't do basic networking
Very disappointed with Marantz.  Should have been a lot better product / company.  Guess it's time to look around for something else and throw this thing on Craigslist or something. 
I have found a fix for this problem that I havent seen anywhere else on the internet. I hope this works for you. 

For me the icon would only show up and work every couple months, and then it would dissapear again. I was trying to connect to my Sonos speakers, which work off of other devices but not itunes... After countless hours I found the issue in my settings.

Settings > Accounts > Family & Other Devices > [Sonos] > Change from standard account to Authorized User

Good luck
