  David LeeAug 15, 2025
  If you're not getting any sound from your Yamaha Amplifier, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check your input and output cable connections to ensure they are properly connected and not defective. Second, make sure you've selected the correct input source using the INPUT selector on the front panel or the remote control. Finally, verify that the OUTPUT selector setting matches the output jacks you are using. Select the appropriate output using the OUTPUT selector.

How to stop a humming noise from my Yamaha Amplifier?
- R
  Roger JarvisAug 18, 2025
  A humming noise from your Yamaha Amplifier can be caused by several factors. First, ensure that all input and output cables are correctly connected and in good condition. If you're using a turntable, make sure it's properly grounded to the GND terminal on the unit. Also, avoid using both balanced and line cables simultaneously between two components, as this can create a ground loop and generate noise. Properly connect the cables; if the issue remains, the cables may be defective. Connect the turntable to the GND terminal of the unit.

What to do if my Yamaha Amplifier power does not turn on?
- K
  Kelly CarterAug 21, 2025
  If your Yamaha Amplifier isn't powering on, start by checking that the power cord is securely connected to both the AC IN connector on the rear panel and the AC outlet. If it still doesn't turn on, try turning off the unit, disconnecting the power cord from the AC outlet, waiting for about 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in. If the issue continues after these steps, disconnect the power cord and contact an authorized Yamaha dealer or service center.

  Caleb YoungAug 26, 2025
  If your Yamaha Amplifier remote control isn't working, there are a few things to check. Make sure you're using it within a 6-meter range and within 30 degrees of the remote control sensor on the front panel. Also, ensure that direct sunlight or strong lighting isn't interfering with the sensor. Finally, replace all the batteries in the remote control.

Why can't I adjust the volume on my Yamaha C-5000?
- K
  Kimberly PowellAug 28, 2025
  If you can't adjust the volume level on your Yamaha Amplifier, check if EXT. DIRECT is selected as the input source. If it is, adjust the volume level on the connected component. Alternatively, connect the external component to a different pair of input jacks other than the EXT. IN jacks, and then select the corresponding input source.

  If you're only hearing sound from one speaker channel on your Yamaha Amplifier, the playback component might not be connected correctly. Ensure that all connections are properly made. If the problem continues, the cables might be defective.

Why is the volume too low when playing vinyl on my Yamaha C-5000 Amplifier?
- J
  Justin GibsonSep 4, 2025
  If the volume level is too low when playing vinyl on your Yamaha Amplifier, the PHONO switch on the front panel might be set incorrectly. Set the PHONO switch to the MM or MC position according to the type of magnetic cartridge of your turntable.

Why does audio sound distorted from BAL 1 or BAL 2 inputs on my Yamaha Amplifier?
- Y
  Yvonne ToddSep 7, 2025
  If the audio from the component connected to the BAL 1 or BAL 2 balanced input jacks sounds distorted on your Yamaha Amplifier, the signal level at the balanced input jacks may be too high. If the signal level at the XLR-type balanced output jacks on the connected playback component is doubled compared to the RCA unbalanced jacks, set the ATTENUATOR selector located below the input jacks to ATT. (?6 dB).
