What works on the BDP-CX7000ES
- Power on/off over the network
- Playback transport: play, pause, stop, chapter/track skip, and scan
- Disc menu navigation — arrows, enter, return, top menu
- Eject and disc selection across the changer's 400 slots
Classic ES disc players use the same custom-install control family as classic ES receivers, so setup matches too: give the player a wired network connection and enable its network control / quick-start setting. Manual IP entry is available in the app if discovery doesn't spot it.
