Volume control hello I have yamaha rx-v657. I would like to know how can restict power of the sound between two different sources of the sound. Source 1 is very low so volume is fix at -5, second source of sound is very powerfull and when I switch from 1 to 2, it is able wake anybody. best regards Grzegorz Malik [email protected]

It sounds like the Yamaha RX V1000 is not properly outputting sound from the speakers. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the volume: Make sure the volume is turned up on the receiver and on the connected source (such as a TV or Blu-ray player).
2. Check the speaker connections: Make sure the speaker wires are securely connected to the receiver and to the speakers. Double check that the speakers are connected to the correct terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative).
3. Check the input/output settings: Make sure the receiver is set to the correct input and that the connected source is set to output sound. Also, check the Yamaha RX V1000's settings to ensure that the speakers are set to "on" and that the correct speakers are selected.
4. Check the mute function: Make sure the mute function on the Yamaha RX V1000 is not activated.
5. Check the amplifier section: Sometimes, the issue could be with the amplifier section of the receiver, which can be tested by a professional technician.
6. Check the firmware: Make sure the firmware of the Yamaha RX V1000 is up to date, if not update it.

If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it may be best to contact a qualified service technician to inspect and diagnose the problem. They may be able to troubleshoot the problem and make necessary repairs, or advise on replacement of certain parts if necessary.

Probably in safe mode due to a power supply/output stage fault.

you forgot to see the AVR works prefectly using speakers
8,6 or 4 Ohms Z, selected to right ohms the switch.
does it? if yes he below is moot,

why do that.
it there is sound source running, and loud and you have no speakers there, that can damage some amps.
so don't do that, some AVR have no error code, protection lamp
just relay clicks
your AVR is really old a sea of RCA jacks on the rear.
there is no need to run any amp ever, lacking a set of speakers.
7.1, does have rules here, no sure me miniumum rules.
may be 2 are required min. (the selected set A or B)
what I do is read the manual first .
found it googled in 1second flat.
page 88

The protection circuitry has been
activated.
Make sure all speaker wire connections on this unit
and on all speakers are secure and that the wire for
each connection does not touch anything other than
its respective connection
Check that the impedance selector setting is correct
ok

I have repaired amps (AVR and others back to 1960s)
the protects circuits trip 1 or 3 ways or both (tech facts)

1. over currant the PA (power amps at speaker jacks)
2. or imbalanced driver transistor pair (push pull or class A)
3. or overvoltages there. now.

so if it has way 3, and he source is full volume and heavy metal band then it trips. no speakers due to output is way too high.
an amp that can do 1000w peak can do 90v peak to a speaker.
yours is 95watts RMS each , peak is not stated. nor is protects stated in absolute terms.

answer 1,. turn off all sources and volume down to run no speakers.
also it told you power off to connect. speakers.
when you do not power on the surge in the PC can be huge
so it tells not to do that.

This will almost certainly be a problem with the power supply, a faulty part. Unless you have experience of repairs to power supplies, due to the high voltages, I suggest you take it to your local authorised Yamaha Repair Centre.

Here are three options to connect your EQ901B or a BOSE 901® Equalizer to a typical Audio Video Receiver (AVR). See:

https://deercreekaudio.com/blogs-%26-updates/f/connecting-your-eq901-to-an-audio-video-receiver-avr

Option 1: Adding a Separate Power Amplifier - Best Option
This option requires that you add a separate power amplifier.
1) Connect the pre-out main left and right to the EQ901 inputs 1 and 2, and the EQ901 outputs 1 and 2 to the power amplifier inputs left and right
2) Connect your 901 speaker to the power amplifier outputs
3) The equalized signal will now play through the front left and right speaker outputs in the stereo and home theater modes.

Option 2: Setting up Your EQ901 B Using Zone 2 Loop
1) Connect Zone 2 pre-out to the EQ901 input
2) Connect the EQ901 output to any unused analog input
3) Select the Zone 2 source as any input (i.e. CD player)
4) Select the Zone 1 source to the input selected in step 2
The equalized signal will now play through the front speaker outputs in Stereo Mode Zone 1.

Option 3: Setting up the EQ901 B Using Only a Single Source
1) Use this option if you have only one source. This example uses a CD player
2) Connect the EQ901 B in between the CD player and any AVR input
3) This may require the 2V input mode on the EQ901B
The equalized signal will play only the single source (i.e. CD) when the input referenced in line 2 is chosen

i have the same problem. i have a rx-v661. i goto the zone 2 settings and try to change the volume and it says VOL FIX. I cannot hear anything out of zone 2. It takes the current volume that is in zone 2, but i cannot hear anything. it has been working fine for at least a year.

Stereo sound requires two speakers per room. One for the right channel and one for the left channel.

Go into zone 2 in menu select the source you want then turn up the volume for zone 2,this should work.
hope this helps.
CABLE CUY.

Had same problem. A and B speakers are basically connected together, and there is no way to get the same volume out of each speaker. This is not a multi-source receiver like Onkyo. Zone 2 needs to go to a seperate amplifier and select teh correct source on the fornt,

I called and spoke with Yamaha support staff (Chuck) who was very helpful. I was able to get my issue resolved hopefully this works for you too.

Couple of solutions:
1) Go into the Menu setting (Manual SetUp/Speaker Set) and make sure that you do not have Presence Speakers or Suround Back Speakers
2) Also in the Menu settings (Manual SetUp/Options/Multi Zone Settings) make sure that your Zone 2 Amplifier is set to "Int" (assuming you are not using external amp
3) Zone 2 can only accept an analog signal (not digital)... so there are two steps to this one. First, make sure that you either run only analog, or if you run digital and analog then you need to select "Analog Input" on the front of the unit. If yours was working earlier, my guess is that your input settings got switched to digital (or auto) You need to have analog set up for each specific external source (DVD, Cable/DTS, etc)....
4) This model receiver will only let you control Zone 2 with the remote control. You can power it on the receiver unit. But to select your source you have to press the Amp button, then the ** button. Then you control Zone 2 and you can toggle sources and adjust volume. (Check your owners manual for programing remote for zone 2.. think I pressed the "code" button and then 2999.)

Hope this helps... it worked for me If not call Yamaha they were very helpful.
