General
The top of the receiver is hot.
 Phenomenon is specific to this amplifier. This is not a malfunction.
If "Control for HDMI" or "Network Standby" is set to "On," or "Pass
Through" is set to "On" or "Auto," the power for zone 2 is turned
on, the top of the receiver may become hot even while the
receiver is in standby mode. This condition occurs because current
is flowing in the internal circuits of the receiver, and this is normal.

or monitor, regardless of type of picture.
 Select the appropriate input on the receiver (pages 5, 6).
