Introduction
This document describes how to set up a Sony STR
receiver as a Control4 controller in a Control4 system.
The Sony STR-DA2800ES and DA5800ES receivers
with full Control4 Automation activated result in an
unmatched home entertainment experience, for both
basic, universal remote and high-end installations.
To unlock the full automation capability of the
receivers, a Control4 Activation License (C4-SO-STR-
Activate-E) is required.
When combined with a Control4 Activation License,
the receiver can be used as a Primary Controller
running Director in a small, one-room home-
automation project, or as a Secondary Controller
not running Director in a multi-controller Control4
system.
Whether configured as a Primary or a Secondary
Controller, when activated, the receiver's display
will switch to the Control4 On-Screen Navigator.
Furthermore, most of the functionality of a Control4
controller can be configured using Composer Pro*.
A 'receiver only' product is also available (see
"Configure as Receiver Only" later in this document).

STRDA2800ES-C4 or ZSO-STRDA5800ES-C4):
