Activation Guide
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-STRActivate-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 homeautomation project, or as a Secondary Controller
not running Director in a multi-controller Control4

Sony’s Out-of-the-Box Automation
The Sony ‘Easy Setup’ wizard that displays on the TV
by default when you power on the receiver the first
time lets you select a display driver as well as various
AV equipment drivers (DVD, Blu-ray, Cable box,
satellite, etc.). Additionally, you can add Control4
Wireless Outlet Dimmers and Switches to the system.
The basic automation available out of the box is
controlled using the Sony IR remote and through
the Sony UI (no Control4 On-Screen Navigator or
Control4 remote compatibility is available out of the
box).
Likewise, the out-of-the-box automation can only
be configured using Sony’s Easy Setup wizard;
Composer Pro configuration and programming is not
available without a Control4 Activation License.
If you plan to activate full Control4 home automation,
then skip the Easy Setup wizard. After you select
your language and accept the End User License
Agreement and start the Easy Setup Wizard, then
immediately select Finish to skip the Easy Setup
wizard. This will take you to the Sony Home screen.

to a more convenient location.
To install the USB ZigBee dongle:
1
Make sure the receiver is turned off and
unplugged from power before installing the
ZigBee dongle.
2
Insert the ZigBee dongle into the USB port on

learn how to create a mesh). After you’ve created
the mesh, you can identify and Control ZigBee
devices in the Control4 system.
