    • S
      Sandra RobinsonAug 19, 2025
      If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on, or turns into standby mode shortly after being powered on, check that the power cord is firmly plugged in. Also, ensure the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is set firmly to either the right or left end. If the issue persists, try turning the unit to standby, disconnecting the AC power cord for 30 seconds, and then reconnecting and operating it again.

      If you are experiencing no sound or picture from your Yamaha Receiver, ensure the output cords are correctly connected, and if the problem continues, the cords may be defective. Verify that you've selected the appropriate input source using the input selector buttons. Confirm that the SPEAKERS switches are properly set to the ON position for the speakers you're using and that the speaker connections are secure.

      If the sound from your Yamaha Receiver suddenly goes off, it could be due to the protection circuit being activated because of a short circuit. To resolve this, turn the unit into standby mode and then turn it back on to reset the protection circuit. Alternatively, the SLEEP timer may have activated; if so, cancel the SLEEP timer function.
