    • A
      Anne BakerSep 22, 2025
      If there is no sound from the subwoofer of your Yamaha Home Theater System, and a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is being played, ensure that “1D BASS” on the SET MENU is set to SWFR or BOTH. If a 2-channel source is being played, select BOTH.

      If your unit fails to turn on, ensure the power cord is firmly connected. If the unit has been exposed to a strong external electric shock, set it in standby mode, disconnect the power cord, plug it back in after 30 seconds, and then try operating it again.

    Why is there sound only from the front speakers of my Yamaha Home Theater System?
    • S
      Steven SmithAug 26, 2025
      Sound might be coming only from the front speakers if the sound effect is off; press STEREO to turn it on. Also, if you're using a Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital, or DTS decoding DSP program with material not encoded with these formats, select another DSP program. Finally, if a 96-kHz sampling digital signal is being input, sound will only output from the front speakers.

      George JohnsonAug 27, 2025
      If there's no sound from the subwoofer, check the “1D BASS” setting on the SET MENU. If it's set to FRONT when playing a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, select SWFR or BOTH. If it's set to SWFR or FRONT when playing a 2-channel source, select BOTH.

    What to do if Yamaha DVX-S100 Home Theater System has no sound from the center speaker?
    • D
      Donna RobinsonSep 10, 2025
      If there is no sound from the center speaker of your Yamaha Home Theater System, first check that the output level of the center speaker is not set to minimum and raise it if necessary. Also, verify that '1A CENTER' on the SET MENU is set to the appropriate mode for your center speaker, and not to NON. If you have selected one of the Hi-Fi DSP programs (1 to 4, except for 5ch Stereo), select another DSP program. Note that the source encoded with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal may not have a center channel signal.
