Troubleshooting

The following troubleshooting page covers frequently asked questions.

Visit the Help Guide for detailed examples.

http://rd1.sony.net/help/ha/strza81/h_uc2/

You can search by a keyword using the online troubleshooting guide.

If you still cannot find a solution, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

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.
→ Depending on the playback equipment, equipment may need to be set up. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the 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.

→ Check that the speakers and equipment are connected correctly.
→ Check that both the receiver and all equipment are turned on.
→ Check that MASTER VOLUME control is not set to [VOL MIN].
→ Check that SPEAKERS is not set to [SPK OFF] (page 11).
→ Try pressing the input button on the remote control to select the equipment of your choice.

The sound lags behind the picture.

→ When you listen to sound from one of the following sources and watch video using the Wireless Multi-Room function, the sound is delayed in order to synchronize it with the sound output from the speakers in another location.

A Devices connected to the HDMI IN, OPTICAL IN, COAXIAL IN, or AUDIO IN jacks
B TVs compatible with the eARC or ARC function and connected to the HDMI OUT A (TV) jack

If the sound lag bothers you, deactivate the synchronization with speakers in another location* by the following procedure.
