iPhone
Control your Denon® or Marantz® AV receiver from your iPhone — calm, instant, and built around scenes instead of receiver menus.
• Power, volume, and mute at a glance
• Switch inputs and pick sound modes instantly
• One-tap scenes that set input, mode, and volume together
• Automatic discovery of receivers on your local network
• Try it first: built-in demo mode, no receiver required
• Multi-receiver and multi-zone control, deep Audyssey/MultEQ tuning, sound favorites, themes, Siri Shortcuts, widgets, and Control Center controls
Everything is free — every feature, every receiver. If Sotto makes your evenings calmer, there's an optional tip jar in Settings. That's the whole business model.
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Your settings stay on your device, and the app talks only to your receiver on your local network.
Compatible with most network-enabled Denon and Marantz receivers that support the standard control protocol.

Thank you for using Sotto. This update fixes a crash, corrects several wrong-volume bugs, and adds proper support for three more receiver models.
• Fixed a crash. An unexpected reply from another device on your network could crash Sotto roughly once a second the whole time it was connected. If Sotto has been quitting on you, this is why.
• On receivers that report through Denon's Web Control, volume levels below 10 were read wrongly (4.5 could show as 45), and the next volume tap then sent the receiver to the wrong level. Both are fixed.
• Volume Up and Down in the widget, in Control Center and via Siri no longer step from a stale reading. If you had changed the volume with the receiver's own remote, a single tap could jump the room to a very different level. When Sotto cannot establish the current level, it now says so instead of guessing.
• The Sound screen no longer dead-ends on receivers that do not offer Denon's Web Control. It falls back to the receiver's own sound-mode presets instead of showing an error.
• Sound modes now show their proper names, for example "Dolby Pro Logic II Movie" instead of the receiver's internal shorthand, and the matching category is highlighted correctly.
• Sotto now recognises three more receivers properly instead of falling back to generic defaults: the Denon AVC-X3700H, AVC-S660H and AVR-X4800H. That takes it from two tuned models to five, and Zone 3 is handled correctly on receivers that have it.
• Fixed several cases where a control could stay stuck showing what you asked for rather than what the receiver actually did, after a command the receiver never confirmed.
• Fixed a tip bought through Ask to Buy not being recorded once it was approved.
Own a receiver Sotto does not fully support yet? The app can send an anonymized snapshot of your model, and that is exactly what lets me add real support for it. Three of the five models Sotto now handles properly came from owners doing precisely that.
