Sony TA-AN1000 loud bang when I switch TV on

[mpezzer]

• Recently purchased the 1000 receiver from Sony. It's connected to a Sony X95L 65" TV using new 48 bit HDMI cable, using the eARC input. 

The receivers standby modes are all switched off.

The TV's HDMI sync features are switched off as I don't want the receiver auto switching on every time I watch TV. Firmware is up to date on both units.

The issue I'm having is, when the TV is turned on from standby the receiver makes a loud clunk noise. This also happens when turning the receiver on/off.

Can anyone tell me if I have a faulty unit? Or if there's a way to stop this?

I have a double outlet socket for TV and Amp.

Trying to get past the robot on chat is very frustrating 😆

Hi and thank you for this, 

Looks like there are some HDMI settings I need to change.

Have you been back to the retailer and asked them if it is supposed to make a loud 'clunk' when it is switched on.

Quite often amplifiers and receivers make a noticeable click, clunk or thump as the contacters are activated.

It may be perfectly normal for this model to clunk as it is switched on.

As for your TVs Bravia Sync settings you should have Audio system prioritisation in your Display and Sound> Audio Output settings.

If this is set to the Off position your receiver will not switch on automatically when you switch your TV on.
