Is the STR-DH740 HDCP 2.2 compliant? |

You have a short happening. Check your speaker wires connected to the receiver and make sure you don't have any loose wires touching anything besides the terminals.

Is it happening just while using the 4K BR player? Does it happen no matter what the source? |

If it doesn't, then it's a short. Just start replacing one speaker at a time. |

Is your signal going from the 4K BR player to the receiver to the TV?
If so, try going direct from the 4K BR player to the TV, then optical audio out to the receiver. That might be a 'work-around' until you can buy an HDCP 2.2 compliant reciever. |

Since you're having handshake problems, look into a HDFury for a fix so you don't have to replace your receiver.

I have the 5.1 version of the same receiver. It did the same thing to me. The "Protected" error message on these receivers actually means it cuts power to protect it from meltdown. The most common issues I found on the internet were speaker wires shorting against each other, and overheating.
My issue was overheating. It didn't appear to be getting warm, but pulling it out of the TV console so the top vents were open to the room solved the problem completely. |

It has nothing to do with hdcp 2.2. A receiver isn't going to shut off it it's not compliant. It's just not going to pass the video along.

I'm way behind when it comes to newer audio stuff but can you check the internal audio settings in the tv or br player and make some changes? There might be something there to change that might make a difference. HDMI setting, etc Heck my Receiver is so old the jacks aren't even color coded(White, Red, etc) I really need to upgrade but when I read these issues I feel I need to read up more.

Since it happens with both 4K BR and Google Chrome-cast music, I agree with Metalsabre.

That's pretty pathetic, as it had quite a bit of room over it for the air to dissipate. It's still going though, so I'll have to rework how I have everything placed it appears. This could have been a lot worse. I've dealt with getting a new roof, plumbing issues, a starter going out in the GF's car, me hitting a deer, furnace issues, paying a contractor to finish a patio that I screwed up, and my deep freeze dying since September. I don't have the money to spend on something else at the moment, gift cards got me this 4k Blu-Ray player and that was all I was doing for myself until everything is paid off in a few months.. so this was kinda big to me. I'm hoping this holds. |

You could try buying a computer fan or 2 and wire it up to blow air into the receiver to keep air moving into it. It's similar to what av rack mounted users do.

I had the same thing happen to a Sony I had. I think it may have been the same model. After a bunch of trying to fix the issue, I found it was time to throw that one out and get a new one. Based on the research I did, it seems it is a very common problem with Sony.

If you have the blu-ray plugged into your amp/receiver for power, remove it and plug it in elsewhere.

its a speaker short.
unplug all speaker wires and see if it goes away. then plug them in one by one. |

Check the impedance of the speakers, and look in the receiver's menu for a 'Speaker Setup' section. Maybe it's not set to match the speakers.

Classic Sony overheat. This what you seek. I have dual fans that plug into the aux switched power outlet on the receiver. so when the receiver comes on the fans come on as well. Or if you want to spend a little more. Get this

My Kenwood receiver out in the barn will do that when power flickers on and off. eventually it comes out of protected mode, I crank it up pretty good (can hear it all over property) and have never had it go in protected mode while running.

No problem. what speakers are you trying to power it with? Being a solid state amp/receiver if your trying to push big speakers with it be careful of distortion. All of the Sony A/V receivers I have had are under powered compared to their ratings and distort easily.

He's got a satellite speaker setup. Powered sub (connects with an RCA, not amplified by the receiver) and 4 little cube speakers with 3.5inch woofers, and a center channel. No freaking way is that amp overheating because of that small shit. It's a short in the wiring or its a short in one of the speakers.

It normally means the magic smoke has escaped. |

Through International copyright protection laws, SONY Owns your music, and it is thus " Protected".
If you remit proper payment, you will be permitted access to said music files. |

Play your movie and see if it happens. If it doesn't, then it's a short. Just start replacing one speaker at a time. This is what happened to me. A single strand of copper fiber from one of the speaker wires was touching the back of the receiver, instead of being in the hole where it should be. OP might be worth triple checking if it's not the overheating issue as others suggested. A bright flashlight helps you find these things. |

You connected the powered sub with the RCA connectors, did you also connect it with speaker wires (i see in the photo of the rear of the sub, that it has speaker level inputs and outputs also). I am pretty sure you should either use the RCA or the speaker level inputs, not both. Also on the receiver, go into the settings and tell it you have SMALL speakers, instead of LARGE, this will send the low bass frequencies to the subwoofer, you may also have to tell the receiver you have a subwoofer for it to send something out the rca outputs. |

Something is shorting/drawing to much power causing the receiver to overheat. Did you have this setup before you bought the 4K? Did it work fine? |

Sounds good. I would still check the wiring, thats usually when Sony's go into protect. I once had a protect short, i checked both ends of all the wires for stray strands, in the end it turned out to be where i had tucked some wiring behind the edge of the carpet, it had got stuck with a tack strip thru the insulator and shorted the positive and negative. |
