  If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode shortly after being powered on, ensure the power cable is firmly connected. Check that the speaker impedance setting matches your speakers. Inspect all speaker wire connections to ensure they are secure and not touching anything other than their respective connections. If the unit experienced a strong electric shock, set it to standby, disconnect the power cable, wait 30 seconds, and then reconnect and use it normally.

  If your Yamaha Receiver has no sound, check the input and output cable connections to ensure they are properly connected; the cables may be defective.

Ensure the correct set of front speakers is selected with SPEAKERS A or B on the front panel or SPEAKERS on the remote. Make sure the volume isn't turned down or muted by pressing MUTE or VOLUME +/- on the remote. If playing a DTS-encoded source, ensure “INPUT MODE” is set to “AUTO” or “DTS”.
