Error 12 message on my Sony STR-DG510

Find a solution that solve my problem : go to US sony website and download the firmware 1.062 released on 7/12/2011. If you're in Europe you have to rename the zip file like this : A64U_1062.zip renamed to A64E_1062.zip

Then upload it to ES Utility and do the update. After half an hour, shut down your receveir (even if blinking) and restart.

Result, no more message error and everything work fine now! Firmware installed : 1.066 (!)

i think the firmware 1.065 released by sony in november was totally corrupted...

Hope that help someone ++

What preceded this? Was it working and then stopped or did it never work?

Press I/O to turn off the receiver

Hold down I/O for 5 seconds (("PUSH" and "ENTER" apear on the display alternately)

Press MEMORY/ENTER. After "CLEARING" apperas on the display for a while, "CLEARED" appears.

Problem is in the amplifier output stage...there is probably a shorted component...the short could have come from a bad speaker..or the speaker wires getting touched together while it was on...you could return to store if it is new and get a new one...maybe it was a return and accidentally got put back into stock

You have to use the same connection in and out. You can not mix inputs and outputs (Example- HDMI IN will not play on Component out and Vice Versa.)

error 12 is what you get if you autocalibrate and do not have the microphone attached.

That is an error code. consult operations manual

Make sure that these inputs are enabled. I'd have to confirm within the manual, but I believe that these have the HDMI section disabled by default.

I called sony, even though the manuel shows that you can use a component wire to hook up the set top box and hdmi for the tv and dvd sony claims that you can not do this. The cable box must also be wired with an hdmi cable going into the video 2 port.sony claims it doesn't work using component and hdmi together because the receiver is unable to up convert. I hope this helps. I have not tried it yet (i'm at work) we'll see what happens when i get home.

check the volume output from your components, and make sure they are not set too low

Why dvd sound does not play on sony str-dg510?
