Re: Sony STR-AZ7000ES: Back To IR?!?!

Of note, the driver for the AZ series that is used in Crestron Home seems to work well. ?Sure would be nice if Sony would put the "Turn On" button back on the webUI.

The AZ demo is in the files section:
You'll want to play around with it and customize as needed, but you should be able to open it up, change the IP address and start testing.
Before you can even connect to it's web server, you have to use the front panel to set 1-2 things on (maybe external control).
Sony took a great platform and made things semi-trash now like not being able to connect OOTB, and the unit has to be 'ON' for you to be able to set/adjust things in the web gui - I.E. if you're remote and want to adjust something you have to turn it on with Crestron then you can see all the web settings...I call BS...
There's a setting or two that you'll need to set in the AVR:
- System/Network Standby = ON
- Install/External Control = ON
?
Though we haven't used any since last year (Sony has lost some of its pedigree in the last year or two), When we dealt with these, we had major issues using static addresses (that all we did with the ZA series). Not a big problem but totally lame and it breaks our IP standard...

Also DO NOT USE the model 1000. It is not really an AZ series AVR - I was told this by 2-3 Sony representatives.
It would also have been nice to know this before we spec'd /installed (2) of them...:(
