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
"Standby 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.
