  If you're experiencing no sound or picture from your Yamaha Stereo Receiver, begin by checking all input and output cable connections to ensure they are properly connected. If the issue persists, the cables may be defective and need replacement. Next, verify that you've selected the correct input source using the INPUT l / h or 6CH INPUT buttons. Also, check the speaker connections to ensure they are secure and that the correct main speakers are selected with SPEAKERS A and/or B. Finally, ensure that the volume is not turned down or muted by pressing the MUTE button. If you are playing a CD-ROM, make sure the signals can be reproduced by this unit.
