GENERAL NOTES:
This module will control all available TCP/IP functions on a Sony STR-DA5500ES AV
surround receiver. Discrete power on/off, volume adjust/mute, input select, and
surround mode select functions are included. True feedback is provided for power
state, input selected, surround mode status, and volume status.
The Sony STR-DA5500ES surround sound receiver is a three-zone receiver. The
receiver can accept commands every 100ms. The zones on this module are referred
to Main, Zone_2 and Zone_3.
The zones are independently controllable. Only the Main zone’s volume level will be
displayed on the receiver’s front panel. Surround modes are only selected for the
Main zone. The Main zone has all input selections available to it. Zones 2 and 3
cannot select the multi-channel inputs, or the Phono input. The user may set Zone 2
or 3 to select the same input as the Main zone by selecting the “Source” input.
The tuner has two tuning modes: Auto and Manual. Auto tuning mode is the default
setting. When in Auto tuning mode, a “Tune_Stop” button is necessary for proper
operation of the auto tuning functions. Manual tuning mode does not use the
“Tune_Stop” button. When using the tuner in auto tuning mode the receiver is polled
continuously. Some feedback will disappear during the tuning up or down. The
feedback will return after “Tune Stop” is pressed.
The unit will be polled for it’s status after any function is triggered on this module. If
it is desired to poll the unit at other times, you can assert the Poll_Enable input. This
will cause the unit to be polled every 60 seconds.
Note that for controlling the receiver’s 12V trigger, the 12V trigger on the STR-
DA5500ES has to be set for Network control.
