  If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode shortly after being turned on: * Ensure the power cord is firmly connected. * Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel fully to the left or right position when the unit is in standby mode. * Verify all speaker wire connections are secure and not touching anything other than their respective connections, as the protection circuitry may have been activated. * If the unit has been exposed to a strong external electric shock, set it in standby mode, disconnect the power cord, plug it back in after 30 seconds, and then use it normally.
