      If there's no sound coming from your Yamaha Amplifier, ensure the output cords are correctly connected and not defective. Also, make sure you've selected the right input source using the INPUT selector and that the SPEAKERS switch is properly set to the ON position for the speakers you are using. Finally, check that all speaker connections are secure.

      If you experience low volume or distortion when playing a record on your turntable with the Yamaha Amplifier, ensure the LOUDNESS control is set to the FLAT position. Also, verify that the PHONO (MM/MC) switch is in the correct position. If the MUTING key is ON, turn the volume control to the full left, then turn the MUTING key OFF with the remote control and adjust the volume.

      Rebecca FergusonSep 7, 2025
      If the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls, SUBSONIC FILTER switch, and MODE switch are not affecting the tone on your Yamaha Amplifier, the PURE DIRECT switch is likely ON. Turn the PURE DIRECT switch OFF to use these controls.
