To Next PageTo Next PageWhy are the surround back speakers not working on my Yamaha RX-V659 Receiver?
If no sound is heard from the surround back speakers of your Yamaha Receiver, check if “SUR. B L/R SP” in “SET MENU” is set to “NONE”. If it is, set “SUR. B L/R SP” to a setting other than “NONE”.
Why is there no sound from the center speaker on my Yamaha RX-V659?
If no sound is heard from the center speaker of your Yamaha Receiver, check if “CENTER SP” in “SET MENU” is set to “NONE”. If so, set it to “SML” or “LRG”. Also, if one of the HiFi DSP programs (except for “7ch Stereo”) has been selected, try another sound field program.
What to do if no sound from subwoofer Yamaha RX-V659 Receiver?
If you're not hearing sound from the subwoofer connected to your Yamaha Receiver, here’s what to check: * Ensure “LFE/BASS OUT” in “SET MENU” is set to “SWFR” or “FRNT” when a 2channel source is being played. If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is being played, ensure that it is not set to “FRNT”. * The source might not contain low-frequency signals.
Why is my Yamaha Receiver remote control not working?
If your Yamaha Receiver's remote control isn't working properly, ensure you are within a maximum range of 6 meters and no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. Reposition the unit if direct sunlight or lighting is striking the remote control sensor. Check if the remote control code is correctly set, referring to the “LIST OF REMOTE CONTROL CODES”. Also, verify that the library code of the remote control and the remote control ID of this unit match; try setting another code for the same manufacturer using the “LIST OF REMOTE CONTROL CODES”.
Why does my Yamaha Receiver suddenly enter standby mode?
If your Yamaha Receiver suddenly goes into standby mode, it could be due to the internal temperature becoming too high, which activates the overheat protection circuitry. To resolve this, wait about 1 hour for the unit to cool down before turning it back on.
What to do if my Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on?
If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode soon after being powered on, ensure the power cable is firmly connected. An incorrect speaker impedance setting can also cause this, so set it to match your speakers. Check speaker wire connections to ensure they are secure and not touching anything else, as the protection circuitry might be activated. If the unit has experienced a strong electric shock, set it to standby, disconnect the power cable, wait 30 seconds, and then reconnect it.
Why does the sound suddenly go off on my Yamaha Receiver?
If the sound suddenly cuts off on your Yamaha Receiver, consider these potential causes: 1. The protection circuitry may have been activated due to a short circuit. Check that the speaker impedance setting is correct. 2. The sleep timer might have turned off the unit. Turn on the unit and play the source again. 3. The sound could be muted. Press MUTE or VOLUME +/– on the remote control to resume audio output.
