I own a RDR-HX925/SR and saw the same (excepted that the fan is basically
alway on). According the FAQs published by Sony, this is normal. The FAQs
give two sources: VPS (timer with VPS, the unit scans the channels waiting
for the expected VPS to appear) and Guide+ (the unit checks the Guide+
channel waiting for data).

Ciao,
