Video Off and Display Off modes One potential concern with so many types of circuitry in one chassis is
mutual interference. Sony minimizes the possibility of radiated interference with
power-off configurations that shut down potential sources of noise:
Video Off: Shuts down the video circuitry and the HDMI™ output to
eliminate even slight residual effects on the audio circuitry.
Display Off: Disables the display for a further reduction in noise.
