    Why is no sound heard from the subwoofer of my Yamaha RX-V559 Receiver?
    • T
      Troy MillerAug 16, 2025
      If you're not getting any sound from the subwoofer connected to your Yamaha Receiver, check the “LFE/BASS OUT” setting in the “SET MENU”. If it's set to “FRNT” while playing a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, change it to “SWFR”. Also, if it's set to “SWFR” or “FRNT” when playing a 2-channel source, set it to “SWFR”.

    What to do if my Yamaha RX-V559 Receiver fails to turn on?
    • T
      Timothy BrightAug 19, 2025
      If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode shortly after being powered on, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the power cable is securely connected. If that's not the issue, check that the speaker impedance setting is correct for your speakers. Another possibility is that the protection circuitry has been activated; in this case, ensure all speaker wire connections are secure and that no wires are touching anything other than their respective connections. Finally, if the unit has been exposed to a strong electric shock, set it to standby mode, disconnect the power cable, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.

    What to do if my Yamaha RX-V559 Receiver sound suddenly goes off?
    • L
      Lori HoganAug 23, 2025
      If the sound from your Yamaha Receiver suddenly cuts out, it could be due to a few reasons. The protection circuitry might have been activated due to a short circuit, so check that the speaker impedance setting is correct. Alternatively, the sleep timer may have turned the unit off; if so, turn the unit back on and resume playback. Lastly, ensure the sound isn't muted by pressing MUTE or VOLUME +/– on the remote control to resume audio output.

    How to fix a humming sound on my Yamaha RX-V559 Receiver?
    • S
      schmidtkellyAug 27, 2025
      A humming sound from your Yamaha Receiver often indicates incorrect cable connections. Ensure that all audio cables are firmly connected. If the humming persists, the cables themselves may be defective and require replacement.

    What to do if my Yamaha RX-V559 suddenly enters standby mode?
    • M
      Mark GoldenAug 31, 2025
      If your Yamaha Receiver suddenly enters standby mode, it's likely because the internal temperature has become too high, activating the overheat protection circuitry. To resolve this, wait about 1 hour for the unit to cool down, and then turn it back on.

    What to do if Dolby Digital or DTS sources cannot be played on my Yamaha Receiver?
    • D
      Daniel ArnoldSep 3, 2025
      If your Yamaha Receiver isn't playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources (and the Dolby Digital or DTS indicator isn't lit), first ensure that the connected component is set to output Dolby Digital or DTS digital signals by checking its operating instructions. Also, verify that the “INPUT MODE” on your receiver is set to “AUTO” or “DTS”, and not “ANALOG”.

    What causes my Yamaha RX-V559 to not operate properly?
    • J
      Jason MartinSep 7, 2025
      If your Yamaha Receiver isn't operating correctly, it could be due to the internal microcomputer freezing from an external electric shock (like lightning or static electricity) or a low-voltage power supply. Try disconnecting the power cable from the AC wall outlet, waiting about 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in.

    Why does my Yamaha RX-V559 Receiver have no sound?
    • M
      Mitchell JohnsonNov 11, 2025
      If your Yamaha Receiver isn't producing sound, several factors could be at play. First, check all input and output cable connections to ensure they are properly connected; the cables themselves may be defective. Next, verify that you've selected the correct input source using the INPUT selector on the front panel or the input selector buttons on the remote control, as well as MULTI CH INPUT on the front panel or MULTI CH IN on the remote. Also, ensure the correct set of front speakers is selected via SPEAKERS A or B on the front panel or SPEAKERS on the remote. Finally, check that the volume isn't turned down or muted. If muted, press MUTE or VOLUME +/– on the remote to restore audio output, then adjust the volume. Also, if you are playing a source encoded in DTS, ensure that “INPUT MODE” ...
