What to do if my Yamaha RX-V663 fails to turn on or enters standby mode?

  If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode soon after being powered on, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure all speaker wire connections on the unit and speakers are secure and that the wires don't touch anything other than their connections, as the protection circuitry might have been activated. Also, verify that the power cable is firmly connected. Another potential cause is an incorrect speaker impedance setting; adjust it to match your speakers. Finally, if the unit has been exposed to a strong external electric shock, set it to standby mode, disconnect the power cable, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.

  This issue may occur if the protection circuitry has been activated. Ensure all speaker wire connections on both the unit and speakers are secure, and that wires don't touch anything except their respective connections. Also, verify the power cable is firmly connected. If the speaker impedance setting is incorrect, set it to match your speakers. If the unit experienced a strong electric shock, set it to standby, disconnect the power cable, wait 30 seconds, reconnect, and then use normally.

- C
  Catherine WalkerAug 25, 2025
  If the Yamaha Receiver's remote control isn't working, ensure you're within 6 meters (20 ft) and no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. Reposition the unit if direct sunlight or lighting is affecting the remote sensor. Replace weak batteries. Set the operation mode selector correctly. Also, ensure the remote control code and the unit's ID match.

  If there is no sound from your Yamaha Receiver, first ensure that all input and output cables are properly connected and not defective. Disconnect the optimizer microphone if it's connected. Set the 'Audio input jack select' to 'AUTO'. If set to 'ANALOG' while playing Dolby Digital or DTS, select an appropriate input source using the INPUT selector. Select the correct front speakers by pressing ASPEAKERS on the front panel. Also, make sure the volume isn't turned down or muted. Finally, ensure the source signals can be reproduced by the unit.
