Yes that is very possible! the wires and speakers need to be checked very carefully for any shorts. The wire should be inspected for any cracks or breaks that would expose the wire, the speakers need to be checked with a multimeter one by one for any odd readings, and last they should be checked for sound quality with a test amp to see if there is any distortion. If the technician has repaired the unit three times I'am surprised he has not looked at the other items. I think you should take the wires and speakers and request he do a load test to rule them out.

HTR 5790 will not turn on. There was a loud pop (which I am guessing is the fuse?) and than the rec went out.

there is a post to this already about checking your voltage inside the unit on the back right hand side and how that is done. my guess is your system is set up with all your other devices hooked into one wall outlet and you overloaded it. Or maybe used a ext amplifier to increase your wattage. IF you try out holding down the ABCD method as described and press input? it may overide the factory setting when the unit experience any type of power malfunction.

My receiver won't turn on. All I get is a fast

I am sure you have tried and disconnecting all the speakers and taking the unit to another outlet right? If it works you fried your surge and need to replace it. Otherwise the unit went into that strange power protection mode

HTR 5790

Hi,


Yes, you would need an iPod to RCA Cable that will connect to your iPod and to the RCA Auxilliary input of the Yamaha HTR-5790 7.1 Channels Receiver. Similar to a Cygnett Groove Transit - MP3 Phone to RCA Stereo Cable or an iPod to RCA Retractable Cable.


Good luck and kind regards.

Powers on for just 5 seconds then off

Took my Yamaha HTR 5790 to a repair shop for an estimate to repair. Cost me $50 for estimate to be applied to repair. It needed two circuit boards replaced at a cost of $390.00.

 

SOLUTION... they kept my $50 and I bought a new AV Receiver that WAS NOT a Yamaha.

HTR-5790 shut off problem

WOW this worked.. Hold down the ABCDE and the preset tuning right arrow and then hit power.. It puts it into a diagnostic mode, but it stays on.. I just rerouted my video to not use the receiver  and the audio works perfectly now.
