      Hi DouglasR,
      Thanks for the feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that your HT-A9000 is giving you trouble with the sound cutting out. That is definitely not the experience we want you to have.

      Before you return it, we’d suggest trying these quick steps to see if they fix the issue:

      -Check that the other devices connected to the speaker system and TV are connected to the correct jacks with the correct cables, and that they are firmly inserted all the way to the back.
      -Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait two minutes, and then plug it back in.

      For more detailed troubleshooting, please check the steps at these links:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00223961

      If the issue stays the same, we invite you to reach out to our support team so we can help you further: https://www.sony.net/support-contact

      Thanks for considering Sony and letting us know about this issue.
      Warm regards,
