Try to reset the internal surge protection circuit unplug the AC power cord from the wall for at least 30 minutes.
Ensure the speaker wiring is not damaged and is properly connected to the back of the receiver and speakers

If the issue is still unresolved, service may be required. Begin the procedure to send your Sony product into a Sony facility to be repaired.

Hope that is helpful.
