Frequently Asked Questions - YITW12 YAMAHA

How do I establish a wireless connection between the transmitter and a Yamaha device?

Make sure the group identity of the transmitter and the Yamaha device is the same. Use the selectors on the side of the transmitter to choose from sets A1-A3, B1-B3, or C1-C3. Then connect your iPod or PC to the transmitter. The connection is established automatically.

Why is the green light blinking without staying on?

This means the transmitter is in the connection phase. If the light blinks green slowly, it is waiting for connection with the Yamaha device. Check that the group identity is the same and that the iPod is correctly connected. If the light blinks red, it indicates a low battery or error.

What should I do if no sound comes out of the Yamaha device even though the wireless connection is established?

Check the volume of the Yamaha device, turn off mute mode, and make sure the selected input source is the transmitter (YIT). If using an iPod, unplug headphones. For a PC, check that the transmitter is set as the audio playback device.

How do I charge the iPod connected to the transmitter?

Connect the transmitter to a PC using the provided USB cable. The iPod charges automatically. You can continue listening to music while charging.

Can I use the transmitter with a PC?

Yes, to use the transmitter with a PC, set the group identity to C1, C2, or C3 (set C). Connect the transmitter to the PC via the provided USB cable. The USB driver installs automatically. Select the transmitter as the audio playback device in the PC's sound settings.

How do I update the transmitter's firmware?

Firmware updates are available on Yamaha's website. Regularly check the site to download new versions and follow the provided instructions.

Which iPods are compatible with the transmitter?

The transmitter is compatible with iPod touch (1st to 4th generation), iPod nano (3rd to 6th generation), iPhone 4S/4/3GS/3G, and iPad (3rd generation, iPad 2, and iPad 1). See the specifications section for an up-to-date list.

Sound is interrupted during playback, what should I do?

Sound may be interrupted if the transmitter is too far from the Yamaha device or if obstacles block the signal. Move the devices closer and avoid metal objects. Devices using the 2.4 GHz band (microwaves, Wi-Fi) may cause interference; move them away or change the group identity.

Can I use the transmitter with an iPhone for calls?

The transmitter is designed for audio playback. During a call, the iPhone's ringtone may be heard through the Yamaha device, but phone functionality is not supported. To avoid interference, it is recommended to disconnect the iPhone from the transmitter during a call.

How do I clean the transmitter?

Use a dry, clean cloth to clean the transmitter. Never use chemical solvents, as this may damage the finish.
