If you're hearing buzzing and whining noises on AM with your Yamaha Stereo Receiver, and a TV set is being used nearby, move this unit away from the TV set.
Why is there no sound coming from my Yamaha RX-497 Stereo Receiver?
If you're not getting any sound from your Yamaha Stereo Receiver, here's what to check: * Make sure all input and output cables are correctly connected. If the problem continues, the cables might be faulty. * Select the correct input source using the INPUT selector on the front panel or the remote control. * Ensure the SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B switches are turned on, depending on your speaker setup. * Verify that all speaker connections are secure.
Why Yamaha RX-497 fails to turn on?
If your Yamaha Stereo Receiver fails to turn on, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the power supply cord is firmly connected to the unit and the outlet. Also, make sure the impedance setting matches your speakers. If the protection circuitry has been activated due to a short circuit, check that the speaker wires are not touching each other and then turn the power back on. Verify that the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is set to either end with the power off. Finally, if the unit has been exposed to a strong electric shock, set it to standby mode, disconnect the power cord for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
Why Yamaha RX-497 Stereo Receiver remote control does not work?
If the remote control for your Yamaha Stereo Receiver isn't working correctly, consider these possibilities: ensure you're within a 6-meter range and 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. Check for direct sunlight or strong lighting hitting the receiver's remote sensor and reposition the unit if necessary. Replace the batteries, as weak batteries can cause issues. Also, verify that the remote control ID matches the unit's ID. If not, switch either the remote control ID or the unit’s ID. If problems persist, try setting another code of the same manufacturer using 'LIST OF REMOTE CONTROL CODES'.
What does 'CHECK ANTENNA' mean on my Yamaha RX-497?
If your Yamaha Stereo Receiver displays 'CHECK ANTENNA', and the XM Connect-and-Play digital antenna accessory is not connected, or does not work properly, check the XM Connect-and-Play digital antenna accessory connections.
How to stop Yamaha Stereo Receiver from humming?
If you hear a “humming” sound from your Yamaha Stereo Receiver, ensure the audio plugs are firmly connected; if the problem continues, the cables may be defective. Also, if you're using a turntable, make sure it's properly connected to the GND terminal on the unit.
Why can't my Yamaha RX-497 Stereo Receiver tune to the desired FM station automatically?
If your Yamaha Stereo Receiver isn't automatically tuning into the desired FM station, it could be because: * The signal is too weak. Try using a high-quality directional FM antenna. * Try using the manual tuning method.
Why can I only hear sound from one speaker on my Yamaha RX-497 Stereo Receiver?
If you're only hearing sound from one speaker with your Yamaha Stereo Receiver: * Check the cable connections to ensure they are correctly connected. If the problem persists, the cables may be defective. * Verify the BALANCE control is set to the appropriate position.
Why Yamaha RX-497 Stereo Receiver can no longer tune in preset stations?
If previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in on your Yamaha Stereo Receiver, it's possible the unit has been disconnected for an extended period. You will need to preset the stations again.
Why is the sound level low on my Yamaha RX-497?
If the sound level is low on your Yamaha Stereo Receiver, the LOUDNESS control might be engaged. Set the LOUDNESS control to the FLAT position.
