  If you're experiencing no sound or picture with your Yamaha Receiver, there could be several reasons: * Check your cable connections to ensure they are properly connected and not defective. * Make sure you've selected the correct input source using the INPUT SELECTOR or TAPE/MD MON / EXT. DECODER buttons. * Verify that your speaker connections are secure. * Confirm that SPEAKERS are set to the ON position for the speakers you're using. * Ensure the volume isn't muted by checking the VOLUME and MUTE settings. * If you're using a CD-ROM, confirm that the signals are compatible with the unit (PCM audio, Dolby Digital, or DTS).

  If your Yamaha Receiver is not working normally, it may be due to the internal microcomputer freezing because of an external electric shock or a low voltage power supply.
