Control4 Activation
Instructions
Introduction
This guide gives you instructions to activate full
Control4 Automation on the Sony STR-DA5800ES
and STR-DA5800ES receivers. Following these
instructions will enable you to configure the receiver
as either a Primary or Secondary Controller.
• Use the Control4 On-Screen Navigator
• Control an unlimited number of devices with a
Control4 controller
• Configure and automate your project using
Composer Pro.
NOTES:
(1) IP cameras are not supported.
(2) Rhapsody is not supported if the Sony
STR receiver is the Primary Controller, but
is supported if the receiver is used as a
Secondary Controller.
(3) TuneIn radio is not supported on the Sony
STR receiver when it is configured as the
Primary Controller. If the Sony STR receiver is
configured as the Secondary Controller, then
TuneIn audio streamed from a Control4 HC
controller can be played in the receiver's main
zone.
(4) You cannot control a serial device, for
example, a Sony 777 disc changer or a serially-
controlled security panel directly with the
receiver; however, adding a Control4 I/O
Extender to the project will allow you to
control serial devices.
(5) Online media played through the Sony
STR receiver is only available in the receivers'
main zone. Likewise, any media streamed from
a Control4 HC controller to the Sony STR
receiver is also only available in the receiver's
main zone.
(6) Before you activate the Sony STR-
DA2800ES or DA5800ES receiver with full
Control4 Automation, ensure that you've met
all the requirements listed in the "Control4
System Requirements" section of this
document and in the Sony installation and
instruction documents.
Prerequisites
1 You will be using the Sony remote to activate the
receiver with full Control4 Automation and the
Control4 On-Screen Navigator.
TIPS:
(1) If left and right arrow icons appear on the
TV screen, use those arrow keys to navigate
through the Sony Easy Setup Wizard. Press
the Select button if no arrow displays on the
screen.
(2) After setup and when you're using the
Control4 On-Screen Navigator, you can use
the Control4 System Remote Control (e.g., SR-
250) or the Sony remote to navigate around
the Control4 system.
2 If this is a new Control4 system, ensure that a
my.control4.com account has been set up for the
customer.
3 Ensure that a Control4 Activation License for the
receiver has been added to the my.control4.com
account. When you purchase the receiver with
full Control4 Automation from Control4, a license
is added to the dealer's account. Simply apply
that license to the customer's account.
IMPORTANT! Before installing the Control4
Activation License or using the receiver,
perform a Sony software update. To update
go to the following UI page: Home > Settings
> Network Update. The update may take up to
15 minutes--please be patient.
4 Primary Controller only: Go to my.control4.com
and obtain the registration code for the receiver.
Write down the 10-digit number; you'll need to
add it to the Sony Registration screen later (see
"Activate Primary Controller" below).
