    HDMI dialog issues

    In consultation with Sony support, did everything right in setting up HDMI (2.0+) arc connections to cable/receiver/TV, and had a lot of trouble getting the dialog to come in right, except on very narrow setting options - often needing changing when streaming vs cable, etc then - the Sony would not keep those settings - and would need to update again Return product and went with my older Yamaha (better quality I think) and just using the digital audio return - without the HDMI processing messing with the dialog sound.

      Hi Scott,

      We regret to learn you are experiencing unexpected dialog audio issues on your AV receiver. This is not the experience that we want you to have. It's also unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. We could've walked you through with some troubleshooting and offer assistance with our product.

      We hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase. Thank you for the feedback.

      Sincerely,
      Jess Sony_US

    When it did work, which was for a week, it was great. After a week it kept shutting itself off in protect mode. I returned it and did not want to take another chance getting the same receiver. I usually buy everything Sony, but I ordered a Yamaha receiver to replace it.
