If the instructions below do not help, or if the problem you are experiencing is not listed below, turn off the unit, disconnect the power cord, and contact the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center. Problem Cause Remedy See page Power does not turn on. The power cord is not connected to the AC IN connector on the rear panel or is not plugged into an AC outlet. Connect the power cord firmly. 26 The unit has been exposed to a strong external electric shock (such as lightning or strong static electricity). Turn off the unit, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet, wait for about 30 seconds, and then plug the unit in again.

There is a problem with the internal circuitries of this unit. Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet and contact the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center.

No sound is heard. Incorrect input or output cable connections. Connect the cables properly. If the problem persists, the cables might be defective.

No appropriate input source has been selected. Select an appropriate input source using the INPUT selector on the front panel (or one of the input selector keys on the remote control).

The OUTPUT selector setting does not match the output jacks that are being used. Select an appropriate output using the OUTPUT selector.

The volume level cannot be adjusted. EXT. DIRECT is selected as the input source. Adjust the volume level on the connected component. Alternatively, connect the external component to a pair of the input jacks other than the EXT. IN jacks, and then select the corresponding input source.

Only one channel speaker can be heard. The playback component is not connected properly. Make sure that the connections are made properly. If the problem persists, the cables might be defective.

Problem Cause Remedy See page A “humming” noise is heard. Incorrect input or output cable connections. Connect the cables properly. If the problem persists, the cables might be defective.

The turntable is not grounded to the GND terminal. Connect the turntable to the GND terminal of this unit.

Both balanced and line cables are being used simultaneously between two components. Do not use both balanced and line cables simultaneously between two components. Doing so would create a ground loop that could generate static and noise.

Playback audio from the component connected to the BAL 1 or BAL 2 balanced input jacks sounds distorted. The level of the signal at the balanced input jacks is exceeding the allowable input level. If the level of the signal at the XLR- type balanced output jacks on the connected playback component is doubled compared to the RCA unbalanced jacks, set the ATTENUATOR selector located below the input jacks to ATT. (−6 dB).

Bass lacks depth when BAL 1 or BAL 2 (balanced input) is selected. The polarity is incorrect. Select the correct polarity using the PHASE selector.

The volume level of the vinyl record is too low. The PHONO switch on the front panel is set incorrectly. Set the PHONO switch to the MM or MC position according to the type of magnetic cartridge of the turntable.

The remote control does not work or function properly. The remote control has been used out of the operating range. The remote control must be used within a maximum distance of 6 m and no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the remote control sensor on the front panel.

Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, strobe light, etc.) is hitting the remote control sensor on the front panel. Change the orientation of the lighting or reposition the unit.

The batteries are weak. Replace all batteries. 1841 English Index
