General
The top of the receiver is hot.
→ Phenomenon is specific to this amplifier. This is not a malfunction. If [Control for HDMI] or [Network Standby] is set to [On], or [Standby Through] is set to [On] or [Auto], 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.
Video
There is no picture or an unclear picture appears on the TV screen or monitor, regardless of type of picture.
→ Select the appropriate input on the receiver (pages 11, 12).
→ Set your TV to the appropriate input mode.
→ Make sure that cables are correctly and securely connected to equipment.

→ Set [HDMI Signal Format] of the selected HDMI IN jack to [Standard format] in the [HDMI Settings] menu.
Specific type of image is not output or corrupted.
HDMI output
→ The output of the HDMI video signals of the receiver may be set to [OFF]. In this case, select [HDMI OUT A] or [HDMI OUT B] using the HDMI OUT button on the remote control (page 13).
→ Sony recommends that you use an HDMI authorized cable or HDMI cable made by Sony. Be sure to use High Speed HDMI cables with Ethernet. Premium High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet, which can support bandwidths of up to 18 Gbps is required for 4K/60p 4:4:4 8 bit and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, etc.
4K image
→ Depending on the TV or video equipment, 4K images may not be displayed. Check the video capability and setting of your TV or video device. Also, make sure to connect to the receiver to an HDMI input jack of a TV or video equipment supporting 4K. You have to connect an HDMI cable to an HDMI jack that supports HDCP 2.2 when you use a playback device for 4K resolution video content, etc.
HDR
→ HDR images may not be displayed in HDR mode when using certain TVs or video equipment. Check the video capabilities and settings of your TV and video equipment.
→ Some video equipment may not output HDR content in HDR mode if [HDMI Signal Format] is set to [Standard format], even when both the TV and video equipment support HDR and bandwidths of up to 18 Gbps. In this case, set [HDMI Signal Format] for the selected HDMI IN jack to [Enhanced format]. When [Enhanced format] is set as the signal format, use Premium High Speed HDMI Cables with Ethernet, which can support bandwidths of up to 18 Gbps.
Audio
There is no sound, no matter which equipment is selected, or only a very low-level sound is heard.
