May be multiple things happening including the set thinking there is a
problem since all of a sudden the black screen (Cut off) occurs with limited
video information (Box and limited Text). Nuisance protective shutdown, etc.
Have you checked out SONY's web site if there are any service bulletins for
this particular chassis?? Could be coincidence but worth checking out, esp
if the symptom occurs always when you are attempting use of these features.

First.... I would try a different remote.

Thanks for the advice. I will try one of those one for all thingies,
although I kind of think it being the remote is a bit remote (pun
intended!). I'm always ready to be amazed.
Thanks,
David
