Q: QuestionHow do I make it so that the "Home" screen for the receiver does not pop up every time I turn the receiver on? Would like it to stay on the cable box input that I left off on. It starts on cable box then goes to home screen after about 10 seconds.

• A:Answer Hi, Customer! Unfortunately, there is no way you can turn off the home menu of the AV receiver. If the AV receiver is connected via ARC connection that's a normal operation. Regards, David

Q: QuestionNeed an AV Receiver that delivers 4K at a rate of ** 120-frames per second ** to the monitor (TV) Please Advise

Asked 6 years ago by BrianTheElectrician.

• A:Answer If you are referring to 120hz (frames per second is a result of your computer/video card/game combo), then you need to look for a receiver with HDMI 2.1 ports rated at 48Gb/s. Currently no receivers on the market have a chip capable of that. Those claiming 2.1 are at a reduced bandwidth which may or likely may not work with your gaming unit. In such a case, plug the computer video card or game console into the TV directly, and use the eARC HDMI to send the audio from the TV back to the amplifier.

Q: QuestionWil this receiver drive B&W 600 series speaker efficiently? I see that the specs list 165W per channel but that seems relative with how wattage is documented. When I look at Denon receivers in the same price range, they list 85-95watts per channel.

Asked 6 years ago by WPA.

• A:Answer Hi, WPA! We base the efficiency of the speakers on the ohms. If your speaker system is within 6 to 16 ohms of impendance then it will work with this AV receiver. See the link below for more information. https://docs.sony.com//release//SPECS/STRDN1080_mksp.pdf Happy to help, David
