cases where the characteristics or
specifications of the Bluetooth device make
it impossible to connect, or may result in
different control methods, display or
operation.

communications environment, or
surrounding conditions.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer. Note that if service
personnel changes some parts during repair,
these parts may be retained.
The receiver is turned off
automatically.
• “Auto Standby” is set to “ON” (page 108).
• The Sleep Timer function is working
(page 16).
• “PROTECTOR” is working (page 132).
The ON/STANDBY indicator flashes in
quick succession.
• The software update has error. Unplug the
power cord, and then plug in the power
cord again. The receiver will try to update
the software. If the indicator continues to
flash in quick succession, contact your
nearest Sony dealer.
No picture and no sound are output, or
the picture and sound are corrupted.
• The receiver is placed near equipment
such as a television, VCR, or tape deck.
If the receiver is being used in
combination with a television, VCR, or
tape deck, and is placed too close to that
equipment, noise may result, and picture
quality may suffer. This is especially likely
when using an indoor antenna (aerial).
Therefore, we recommend using an
outdoor antenna (aerial).
The top of the receiver is hot.
• Phenomenon is specific to this amplifier.
This is not a malfunction. If “Ctrl for
HDMI”, “Pass Through”, “Network
Standby” or “BT Standby” is set to “ON”,
or the power for zone 2 is turned on, the
top of the receiver may become hot even
while the receiver is in standby mode. This
condition occurs because current is
flowing in the internal circuits of the
receiver, and this is normal.
When connecting cords
• Before connecting cords, be sure to
disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead).
• It is not necessary to connect all the cords.
Connect according to the availability of
jacks on the connected equipment.
