  If you're experiencing no sound from your Yamaha Receiver, try these steps: First, ensure that all input and output cables are correctly connected and not defective. Make sure the audio input jack select is set to “AUTO”. If it's set to “ANALOG”, but your input source outputs digital audio, switch it to “COAX/OPT”. Select the appropriate input source using the input selector. Also, check that the volume isn't turned down or muted. Finally, ensure that the source you're playing can be reproduced by the unit and supports HDCP copy protection standards.

  If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode shortly after being powered on, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the power cable is firmly connected. The speaker impedance setting might be incorrect, so adjust it to match your speakers. The protection circuitry might have activated; check all speaker wire connections to ensure they are secure and not touching anything other than their respective connections. If the unit was exposed to a strong electric shock, turn it off, disconnect the power cable, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.

  Your Yamaha Receiver might be turning on and then off due to several reasons. It could be a loose power cable connection, so ensure the power cable is firmly connected. The speaker impedance setting might be incorrect; adjust it to match your speakers. The protection circuitry could be activated, meaning you should check all speaker wire connections to ensure they are secure and not touching anything else. In rare cases, a strong external electric shock might be the cause; try turning off the unit, disconnecting the power cable, waiting 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in.
