Sony have disabled the ability to operate the STR-DN1050 using the music center app. 

 

I purchased the STR-DN1050 following cancer surgery (which has left me paralyzed from the waist down). I purchased it as it was advertised as being a multi-zone receiver that could be controlled from any room in my home. 

I use the DN1050 to play music when I am in bed (one of the few things I can enjoy now). The bedroom is zone 2. The receiver is installed in another room (zone 1).

 

When lying in bed (in zone 2) I used to use the app to enable zone 2 power, to control the device, and to select and play songs. I cannot do that without the app. The supplied remote is useless as it does not work in zone 2 (and it also needs a connected tv to make navigating the menus possible). 

 

I am unable to move without assistance, so I am unable to walk back to zone 1 every time I want to turn the device on, play a song, or skip a track.

 

The unit is also installed within a unit in zone 1 to keep all the cable out the way for safety reasons. Therefore the IR remote will not work in zone 1 either (another reason why I selected this product with its app control).

 

The STR-DN1050 is completely useless to me without the app. The device was advertised and sold as bieng possible to operate from any room using the app. That is the only reason I purchased this particular device.

 

Please can you tell me when the music center app will be fixed.
