There are five amplifiers in the STR-DE425, three have discrete output stages with IC drivers, the other two are single IC's. You need to test the outputs from them to see if one has a DC standing voltage on it, all five connect into the same protection circuit. Probably one of the easiest places to measure is on the speaker switching relays!.

A common cause is often dry (cold soldered) joints on output IC's.

I've got a manual on Sony Assist, but they are password protected PDF files - and the password is provided by the Assist program.
