str-dn 1080 stand-by high power-consumption

[mirrormurr]

Hi all,

Finally had the chance to measure the power-consumption on this receiver, whooping 59 watts in stand-by, and while  playing loud around 75-90  watts. This cant be normal..?

Also noticed a slight 50 Hz hum from what I presume is the transformer, regardless in stand-by or on mode. Have read another thread regarding the Wake-up-LAN feature missing on European models and high power-consumption, but I thought this deserved its own thread.

Mine had the same issue - EU version. Latest software. 48w power pull in standby.

The fix I found was to do two things -

1) go into the setup - into hdmi settings - turn Standby Through to off.

2) go into zone controls - turn zone 2 power off and hdmi power off.

Result

- home screen on 54w

- standby 1.4w

NB. In zone controls with hdmi zone power on or Zone 2 power on it's 48w on standby.

Hope that helps!
