What to do if my Yamaha HTR-5590 Receiver has no sound and/or picture?
If your Yamaha Receiver isn't producing sound or picture, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the input or output cables are correctly connected, and if the problem continues, consider that the cables may be defective. Then, verify that you've selected the appropriate input source using the INPUT or 6CH (INPUT) buttons. Check that the speaker connections are secure and the correct main speakers are selected with SPEAKERS A and/or B. Also, make sure the volume isn't turned down or muted by pressing the MUTE button. Finally, confirm you're playing a source that the receiver can reproduce and that the video input and output jacks are of the same type.
How to fix a Yamaha HTR-5590 Receiver that fails to turn on?
If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode shortly after being turned on, check these potential causes: Ensure the power cord is firmly connected. If there is an IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel, make sure it's fully set to the left or right position while the unit is in standby mode. Also, verify that all speaker wire connections are secure and not touching anything other than their respective connections, as the protection circuitry might have been activated. If the unit has been exposed to a strong electric shock, put it in standby mode, unplug it for 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.
What to do if the sound suddenly goes off on my Yamaha HTR-5590 Receiver?
If the sound on your Yamaha Receiver suddenly cuts off, it could be due to a few reasons. The protection circuit may have been activated due to a short circuit, so check that the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch is set correctly, and then turn the unit back on. Alternatively, the sleep timer may have activated; if so, turn the power back on and play the source again. Lastly, the sound might be muted, so press the MUTE button or any operation button to cancel the mute and adjust the volume.
Why is my Yamaha Receiver subwoofer not working?
If you're not getting any sound from your subwoofer with your Yamaha Receiver, check these settings: If you're playing a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, ensure that “1E LFE/BASS OUT” on the SET MENU isn't set to MAIN; if it is, select SWFR or BOTH. Alternatively, if you're playing a 2-channel source, make sure “1E LFE/BASS OUT” isn't set to SWFR or MAIN; if it is, select BOTH.
How do I stop noise interference from my Yamaha HTR-5590?
If you're experiencing noise interference from digital or high-frequency equipment with your Yamaha Receiver, it's likely because the unit is too close to that equipment. Move the receiver further away from such equipment.
Why is my Yamaha Receiver making buzzing and whining noises?
If your Yamaha Receiver is producing buzzing and whining noises, particularly in the evening, it could be due to interference from a nearby TV set. Try moving the unit away from the TV.
Why is the sound degraded when using headphones with my Yamaha HTR-5590 Receiver?
If the sound quality is degraded when listening with headphones connected to a tape deck or CD player that's connected to your Yamaha Receiver, it could be because the unit is in standby mode. Turn on the power of the unit to resolve this.
Why won't my Yamaha HTR-5590 play Dolby Digital or DTS sources?
If your Yamaha Receiver isn't playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources and the corresponding indicator isn't lighting up, ensure that “Digital output” and “Dolby Digital” or “DTS” are selected on the connected components. You may need to make the appropriate setting following the operation instructions for your component.
How do I fix a Yamaha HTR-5590 on-screen display that doesn't appear?
If the on-screen display (OSD) is not appearing on your Yamaha Receiver, there are a couple of things to check. First, ensure that the setting for the on-screen display isn't set to “DISPLAY OFF”; if it is, select the full display or short display mode. Also, verify that the GRAY BACK setting under “13 DISPLAY SET” on the SET MENU isn't set to OFF, especially if no video signal is being input to the unit; if it is, set GRAY BACK to AUTO to always show the OSD.
