20 Most Recent Yamaha RX-V530 Receiver Questions & Answers

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I've tried using the balance for left and right speakers, and when the receiver is acting up with the right speaker having a low volume, I tried moving the balance all the way over to the right speaker. The right speaker volume will not increase in volume but the left speaker will decrease in volume.Just to clarify, the center and the rear speakers are balanced. The issue only happens sometimes when I first power on the receiver I will have no center channel. If I leave everything alone for a few mins, the center channel will come on.So it seems to me that something one the receiver is going. The question is, can anyone suggest a physical repair for the receiver for these symptoms?Thanks

check to make sure you don't have the dimmer down too low. you can adjust this option to make the room darker if the front panel is distracting while watching a movie etc.

WHY CONNECT THE I POD DOC WHEN YOU CAN CONNECT THE I POD DIRECTLY USING THE CORRESPONDING CABLES.
REGARDS.

Your player has as much to do with this as the receiver. It must be set to transmit the DTS bitstream. Even within a given DVD movie there are choices for which of several soundtracks to be used.

You might have your speakers shorted. Check the wiring at the amp and speaker terminals

If you are using the remote to raise the volume of the unit, my advice is to forget that function, and turn volume manually. I had a similar problem with a Sony receiver and the solution was simply to put aside the remote. Remotes are infra-red based, and if you have other components with infra-red this can cause undesired interference and malfunction. Good Luck.

Do you have the receivers "Audio Input" set to "Auto?"
There is a small button on the front of the receiver to set audio for either: "Analog, Digital, or Auto" and you can double check it in the "On Screen Menu", "Manual Setup" "Audio" Hope this helps, if you still have an issue, check the "Source"(DVD,Cable Box, etc) setup mode as well.

blown speaker

Hey there snowbumswerd, a power surge may have caused the problem you are experiencing. Some higher end receivers will protect themselves from damage by setting off a breaker switch. The breaker should reset if you unplug the unit from its power source for one minute, and plug it back in. This is the easiest of all fixes. The next option is to check inside for blown fuses. Please ensure the unit is completely powered down and disconnected. They may not be obvious so look carefully. Also you can check your capacitors. They are the tube shape things that look like small batteries sticking off the board. If the top of any of these has lost it's flatness or erupted, then that is your problem. You should use a professional if this is the case. Relatively simple to fix and therefore inexpensive. Hope it helps. Good Luck!

I expect there is either a power supply issue or one of the amplifiers has failed causing over current to turn it off as a protection to the power supply.

"Opening" ... Please explain what you mean.

Yes if it has a suitable speaker connection available and is nominally 8 ohms impedance Speaker and AV.

Being from 1985 or there abouts, it probably needs some TLC at a Yamaha service centre. May need new capacitors and resolder dry joints for age related issues.

WD-40 ... Very dangerous as it not only flammable when wet but is bad for electrical contacts as it leaves a residue behind that does not conduct electricity very well. Check speaker connections first.
