Yamaha HTR-5850 Receiver Questions & Answers
Sound cutting out
I'm presuming you are referring to a Yamaha HTR,right???(Night Listening Enhancer (Cinema/Music) and SILENT CINEMA)..see page 32 in this manual at this link,here's the owner's Manual,also available to download for free in .pdf (Adobe) format.......https://www.manualslib.com/manual/197349/Yamaha-Htr-5940-Av.html
Power wont stay on
most likely something wrong in the amplifier section. Have you tried powering it on with no speaker wires attached? If it stay on with no speaker wires, then there is a bad wire or speaker.
Set keeps shutting down
It could be that the amp's overload protection circuit is being triggered by a
feedback loop or other problem, such as a shorted or bad cable
connection. Turn off the power and unplug the receiver. Look for
problems, starting with shorted speaker wires or cables. Then make sure
the receiver's not still hot (wait 5-10 minutes to let it cool), and
remove obstructions or anything blocking the top vents. Plug it back
in and power up again. Immediately change the Source selector to
something unconnected, and turn the Volume DOWN just in case there's a
feedback loop (hum/squeal/noise that can overload things and cause the
protection circuit to trip again). If you can see the display, go to a
low level (around -50dB should be fine) before the delayed speaker amp
output clicks on. Then carefully switch back to the problem source --
if that's the problem, switch off again immediately and re-check all of
the cable connections at both ends, the receiver and the source
component.
Make sure you don't have a feedback loop due to a
recording device feeding back a signal. All VCRs and CD/DVD-recorders
should be hooked up to the VCR, DVR or TAPE/CD-R "IN/OUT" jacks with IN
being connected to the cables marked OUT on the deck and vice versa.
(That confuses even us experienced guys sometimes!)
Also, no MONITOR
video or audio outputs should be connected to the recording decks, nor
should the TV outputs be fed back to the recorders. The same goes for
the digital IN/OUT jacks for CD recorders; use only the same number IN
as OUT for each component (For example, Optical IN/OUT #4 and #5 are the two digital
IN/OUT pairs on the Denon AVR-380X series.)
Is it possible to play my ipod nano through my Receiver?
If it doesn't have a jack made for plugging Mp3 players into it like the new car stereo's do than you just have to go buy an FM transmitter that is made for Mp3 players. It will play through one of your low FM frequency's on your receiver. You can generally pick one up for around $20
TV/DVD surround sound through receiver
Try running digital audio from the source - cable/sat - to the receiver. The fewer intervening connections and entities, the better. TV's are NOT considered sound sources for high end purposes or we wouldn't have Yamaha HTR-5860's and better speakers, would we?
Unable to get surround sound
Some features do not give surround sound such as tuner. If input cables attached to analog dtv/cbl and speaker cables attached to wire end output serround should work fine when set to dtvcbl on front display.
My htr-5850 just stopped producing sound while
How is TV sound coming into your Yamaha? If it's from the TV analog audio then maybe the TV's audio output is muted.
If it's from the Cable Box maybe ITs audio is muted. I'd refer to the guide for the Cable Box.
MUTE on the receiver is not source-specific.
