Sony STR-AN1000 / TA-AN1000: permit a verified network controller to wake the unit
Sony STR-AN1000 / TA-AN1000 — permit a verified network controller to wake the unit. Confirm the actual setup and observed response before reporting an outcome.
Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Current Network/Bluetooth Standby Off with awake control already working.
Connection scope: Wi-Fi / Ethernet network audio. Symptom: The control app cannot find my device.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
step-0
Does the documented compatible controller already operate this unit while awake on the same network?
Unknown network setup or unsupported control software is outside this check.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Is Network/Bluetooth Standby actually Off?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-1
Is Network/Bluetooth Standby actually Off?
Chromecast or RF Channel settings can force it On. Do not change those other features to fit this flow.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Do you accept increased retained standby operation to allow remote wake?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-2
Do you accept increased retained standby operation to allow remote wake?
This changes a power-saving choice; no software repair is claimed.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Set Setup > System Settings > Network/Bluetooth Standby to On
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-3
Set Setup > System Settings > Network/Bluetooth Standby to On
Leave RF Channel, Chromecast and network addresses unchanged.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.
- If Yes / confirmed → May normal standby be tested with no active listening or update?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-4
May normal standby be tested with no active listening or update?
A standby test interrupts the awake session.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Put the unit in normal standby
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-5
Put the unit in normal standby
Do not disconnect mains.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.
- If Yes / confirmed → Request normal power-on through the already verified controller
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-6
Request normal power-on through the already verified controller
Use the same known local network path.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.
- If Yes / confirmed → Does the intended unit wake from that command?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-7
Does the intended unit wake from that command?
A saved standby setting is not proof of app reachability.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Checks completed — report what happened
