The Sony STR-DN1020 has started acting up on me last night. It has randomly started making a LOUD popping noise for random speakers on occasion, Then would get a loud tone noise sometimes. Tried resetting the unit to factory default and this did not help. Checked and cleaned all of the...

Just hooked up my new Blaupunkt VPW-460 1800w 18" sub to my behringer ep2500 and just testing it's frequency response. When I play one of these bass tests online anything below approx 30hz there is a massive dropoff and the sub barely moves. I have a sony strdn1020 a/v receiver and I cant seem...

Just checking to see if I can get some tips on a speaker setup with my current (but older) Sony STR DN 1020. In my den, I have a 46" led tv hooked up to a sony str dn1020 and an energy take classic 5.1 speaker system. This past week I installed a couple of outdoor speakers for the patio/pool...

I have a str dn1020 7.1 receiver, I ony used 5.1 setup since I bought it. several days ago i connected it to the back surround speakers (7.1setup), no sound from back surrounds at all, while the other 5 speakers are working well. I tried test tone, speaker B and bi-amping on the back surround...

I just got the new receiver and hooked everything up according to the instructions but felt that something wasn't quite right. When listening to sounds from any source hooked up to the receiver the "multi channel decoding" indicator never ever lit up. By accident my daughter changed the video...

Sony STR-DN1020 Pioneer PD M453 Cd player (Cartridge) I select CD playback and start the CD player. It plays for ~10-15 minutes and then the Sony drops into "standby". The CD player continues to play on... with no sound form the speakers because of stamdby. How do I set the SONY to not go...

Background: I have a tivo, bluray, and htpc all running thru my AVR on hdmi standby auto passthru. One hdmi to tv for all of them. I also have an optical out of my tv back to the AVR, for smart tv features. The tivo is hooked to the CATV input on the AVR, and the optical from the tv is on TV...

Hey I already have a Sony STR-DA3400ES, but have the option available to get the Sony STR-DN1020. I realize that the 1020 is not part of the ES line but is 3 or 4 years newer. The extra features are not really a factor, I can't see Me using many of them. Nor is another brand of amp, the...

Currently i have the HT-ss2300 home theatre... looking into getting the str-dn1020 receiver bc i now need the 3d passthrough among some other things... my question is the home theatre system has the speakers that have the colored clips at the end (is there a name for this connection?).... the...

I know there's not a lot of love for the Sony's here, but I'm wondering if a discounted STR-DN1020 is worth it? These two receivers are priced similarly (withing $50 of each other) and the Sony has a couple more features - networking and comes with an iPod dock are the main ones I'm...

I am trying to decide between all of three of these receivers. Assume the Pioneer and the Sony are the same Price and the Denon is $100 more. I am upgrading from a 4 year old Sony and the features i am after that i dont currently have are 3D pass-through, ARC, variable lip sync, and some...

I've just got my Sony BDP-780 hooked up to my new Sony STR-DN1020, via HDMI. I was watching Tangled in 3d as a test, and whenever I changed chapters, or did a 15 second jump, I got a click or pop from a random speaker. Different each time. Any ideas on where this is coming from?
