I. Overview
As part of its Premier Partner Program, Vantage Equinox products support the Sony STR-DA5600ES for control of your Home
Theatre. After setting up the Sony STR in Design Center, the Equinox audio and video Widget user interfaces for control of the Sony
automatically appears in the EQ41 and EQ73 in-wall touchscreens and mobile devices installed with the Equinox App (available for
iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Android products).
The Sony STR Receivers work best as part of an audio system and/or complete surround system that includes multiple sources and a
TV/Display. Therefore, it is presumed in this Integration guide that an Equinox supported TV/Display is used in conjunction with the
Sony STR.
