The reason this happens is because it takes about 3 to 5 sec. for the output circuit relay to kick in after power up, im sure at this point is when your receiver shuts off and flashes red. You have a bad output Transister its shorted to ground and the sony's protection circuit kicks in and shuts it down. Unless you are a electronic Tech. you will have to take it in to be repaired its going to be about 120 dollars to repair. Now im assuming your speakers are ok, if you have them hooked up when you do this try disconnecting them and try to power up if it does you have a shorted speaker, but normally Sony just displays overload protection on the display. Im sure you have a shorted Trans. sorry for the bad news good luck.
