| | Alert Description: | Some STR-DA4300ES A/V receivers may experience issues when connected via HDMI. These issues can be resolved by a firmware update. Sony has put a program in place to replace or update affected STR-DA4300ES A/V receivers.
Specific Symptoms
* You may experience a darker than expected picture on your television when using your Sony® STR-DA4300ES A/V Receiver to upconvert a component video signal to an HDMI signal.
* The on-screen menu is not visible, or may be slow to appear, when the STR-DA5300ES A/V receiver is connected via HDMI to a video source and television that are capable of Deep Color.
NOTE: Deep Color was added with HDMI version 1.3 and supports 10-bit, 12-bit, and 16-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths which allows rendering of over one billion colors in greater detail than previous versions.
Affected Models
