APPENDIX Troubleshooting Refer to the table below when this unit does not function properly. If the problem you are experiencing is not listed below, or if the instructions below do not help, turn off this unit, disconnect the power cable, and contact the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center. General Problem The power will not turn on. Cause The protection circuitry operated three times consecutively.
APPENDIX Troubleshooting Problem No sound. No picture. Cause Remedy See page Incorrect input or output cable connections. Connect the cables properly. If the problem persists, the cables may be defective. 15 If a DVI-HDMI cable is used to connect the unit with an external component, then it is necessary to use an audio input jack for a different input to output audio. Display the HDMI Input Option menu for the connected cable, select “Audio In,” and select the jack to use for audio input.
APPENDIX Troubleshooting Problem No sound is heard from the surround speakers. No sound is heard from the subwoofer. Cause Remedy See page This unit is in straight decoding mode and a monaural source is being played back. Press fSTRAIGHT (on the remote control) to exit straight decoding mode. 27 Sound may not be output from certain channels depending on input sources or sound field programs. Try another sound field program. 26 A subwoofer is not connected, or it is disabled.
APPENDIX Troubleshooting Tuner (FM/AM) FM AM Problem FM stereo reception is noisy. Cause You are too far from the station transmitter, or the input from the antenna is weak. Remedy See page Check the antenna connections. 20 Switch to monaural mode. 30 Replace the outdoor antenna with a more sensitive multi-element antenna. — Adjust the antenna height or orientation, or place it in a different location. — There is distortion, and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna.
APPENDIX Troubleshooting Remote control Problem The remote control does not work or function properly. External components cannot be controlled using the remote control. Cause Remedy See page Wrong distance or angle. The remote control will function within a maximum range of 6 m / 20 ft, and no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. — Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, strobe light, etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of this unit.
APPENDIX Glossary Audio information Audio and video synchronization (lip sync) Lip sync, an abbreviation for lip synchronization, is a technical term that involves both a problem, and the capability of maintaining audio and video signals synchronized during post-production and transmission. Whereas the audio and video latency requires complex end-user adjustment, HDMI version 1.
APPENDIX Glossary SILENT CINEMA HDMI Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field program, so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed on headphones. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.
