  If the sound on your Yamaha Receiver suddenly cuts off, it could be due to: * **Protection circuit activation:** A short circuit or similar issue may have triggered the protection circuit. To resolve this, set the unit to standby mode and then turn it back on to reset the protection circuit. * **SLEEP timer:** The SLEEP timer may have been activated.

  If your Yamaha Receiver is not working normally, it may be due to the internal microcomputer freezing.

To resolve this, set the unit to standby mode, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC power outlet, wait about 30 seconds, then reconnect the power and operate the unit again.
