STR-DN1080 Home Menu

[KV971213]

Dear Community,

Could anyone tell me if the Home Menu SHOULD be displayed every time i change my tv's input to hdmi arc ??

Is there a logic behind this or is it a bug that should be fixed ? Does every owner experience the same thing or is it relying on TV's brand ?

Hi KV971213, 

I'm just going to try to find some answers for you. In the meantime, maybe someone else in the community might have some ideas. 

Thanks,

Hi there,

Perhaps it would help us to know what's the TV you're using with the receiver. Are you using Control For HDMI?

Hi !

Thanks for the reply. I am using control for hdmi as I need to be able to use arc. Can't use optical connection since I pass lossy atmos to the receiver. My tv is an LG oled

Hi again

in this case, let's go back to basics:

1- Disconnect the receiver and TV from the mains completely for a while and try again.

2- Make sure the receiver is up to date: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/audio-components-receivers-amplifiers/str-dn1080/download...

3- Test the receiver with a different cable if you can.

4-Perform a factory reset: https://helpguide.sony.net/ha/strdn108/v1/en/contents/TP0001221267.html

Hi ! Thank you for your reply.

The receiver is up to date. I have changed the hdmi cable and reset the receiver. Unfortunatelly nothing changed ! Home menu is displayed every time i set the arc as input !

Hello KV971213,

That sounds weird. Do you normally change the inputs using the remote or directly from the unit? Also, what if you disabled HDMI control? Would it still behave the same way?

Hello Vanilla, 

I am changing inputs using tv's remote. When switching from terrestrial broacasts to hdmi arc, the receiver changes to the correct input accordingly (tv to the last used receiver's input respectivelly). So far so good. But after a while the home menu pops up! Disabling hdmi control does not activates home menu as the receiver stays to which input is all the time but arc is not working. The sound goes out from tv's speakers when watching terrestrial or from embedded apps

I have the same amp and have never had your issue  It might help if you could tell us what you have connected and may lead to a solution.

Hi, 

Tv is hooked on arc and everything else (sat, ps4, blu-ray) is on the receiver. When switching from tv to receiver's hdmi I have everytime the home menu to interrupt the viewing...
