Thanks so much for the reply! Looking forward to trying this out.

I am a techie.  I owed a computer store for over a dozen years when the PC era began and I'm a member of Mensa and I have a doctorate so I'm not dense or uneducated. I got the Skip 1 up and running without difficulty on Windows 10 with a Sound Bar, TV, and Apple TV without difficulty. I haven't tried adding other devices. My Sound Bar isn't in the code base (surprising since the Sony HT-A7000 is pretty common), but I am limping along by using a few codes that cross over from another Sony sound bar for now. 

What surprises me, though, is the absence of any documentation on the use of the color wheel. I can't find anything documenting how it is supposed to be used, its purpose or why it even exists. Given it presumably is a unique feature of this product, why isn't this feature explained somewhere prominently? Can someone explain its supposed usefulness? Thanks.

Any chance you can detail how you got the HT-A7000 working. I went brute force and nothing worked. Thanks!

Very frustrating. I went brute force through a list of models that would not load easily. No dice.

How on earth did you get this HT-A7000 working!? Thanks for any tips.

Sony HT-A is listed under Audio Devices but does nothing. What gives?
