  If you're experiencing no sound or picture with your Yamaha Receiver, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that all input and output cables are correctly and securely connected; if the problem persists, the cables themselves may be defective. Next, verify that you've selected the appropriate input source using the INPUT SELECTOR or TAPE/MD MON / EXT. DECODER buttons. Also, check that the speaker connections are secure and that the SPEAKERS setting corresponds to the speakers in use, setting them to the ON position. Finally, confirm that the sound isn't muted by checking the VOLUME level and pressing the MUTE button to cancel mute if necessary. If you are inputting digital signals, ensure that your Yamaha Receiver can reproduce them.
