  If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode shortly after being powered on, there are a few potential causes. First, ensure the power cord is securely connected. Second, check that all speaker wire connections are secure and not touching anything other than their respective connections, as the protection circuitry might have been activated. Finally, if the unit has been exposed to a strong external electric shock, set it to standby mode, disconnect the power cord, plug it back in after 30 seconds, and then use it normally.

  If the sound from your Yamaha Receiver suddenly goes off, it could be due to a few reasons.
