Germs Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Hi I just received my C4 this week (EA1 and NEEO Remote) . My installer is busy configuring it , but there are still issues and i would like to have your advice. Basically i am using C4 for my Home Theater. So the installed stuff is a Yamaha AVR 5100 , a JVC Beamer , 3 Minidsp's , a PC using Kodi and some Hue Lights. The Hue Lights work. But that's pretty much it . All the other stuff work to turn on and off and basic functionality . However this are the issues that remain : 1. In the Yamaha Tab , i can only control the different Music or Movie DSP's , like Dolby Surround , Dolby Neo , Music in Vienna , etc..... I would like to be able to change manully also to AV1 AV2 etc... or hit the Menu Button of the Yamaha AVR. This apparently is not possible to get in. 2. Lastly , i have 3 Minidsp's . Those are DSP's to steer the Sound of the Loudspeakers . Not much to do there , just 4 button's , preset 1,2,3,4 and On/Off Filter. That's all. The installer remotely read the IR Codes into C4 , however controlling the device on it's own seems to be a real challenge. Right now , i have a room Minidsp , with the Minidsp inside to be able to control that device (which i don't need often , just sometimes to test things) Isn' t there a way to add it to my "Cinema" Room , without having to turn it on or off (it is on always by default) Can anyone advise me please ? Thanks a lot , i appreciate it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This apparently is not possible to get in. Menu should be available when selecting the Yamaha as a source, though it would depend on the driver, it could be mapped to a button like guide etc. As for selecting other inputs...I'm thinking you may not quite understand how C4 works. It isn't impossible to do so as such, though it would show up as options under 'watch' as separate sources. C4 isn't there to give you a ton of individual control as such, it's intend is to make it so you do not HAVE to control so many things because the system does it all for you.

It's not easy coming from another system like Logitech where half of. the time when you push a button nothing works as expected and you have to be able to switch to the device individually to change Inputs etc... could be also that i'm still scared of that. Regarding the Menu of the Yamaha , it's the built in IP Driver from the Yamaha as far as i know. The only thing it shows are the DSP's as already said. Nothing else. One more thing the Spotify doesn't seem to work . When i hit the Spotify Button , i get an error message : Page Error - There was an error getting the requested content. Try again. However in my iPhone app the C4 doesn't show up with Spotify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Spotify free doesn't allow you to stream from it, I would rather use Tidal or Deezer - they are much more easier and user friendly. As for the C4 app depending on your OS, you'll need to either favourite it or make it visible on the room. For the Yamaha menu, your dealer can just make it a custom button, we've done that for a few of our clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
