20 Most Recent Yamaha HTR-6030 Receiver - Page 4 Questions & Answers

For TV audio thru the receiver, you will need to run an optical cable or RCA analog audio cable from the "Audio Output" or "Monitor Output" on the back of the TV to the CBL/Sat input on the Yamaha. The VCR goes to Video 1 on the receiver and the DVDR will go to DVR/VCR2 on the receiver. If you want to pass Video thru the Yamaha to the TV, use the "Monitor Output" on the Yamaha if it's at least "Component Video" if not, connect your video sources directly to the TV and audio to the Yamaha. Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with this, post a comment and I will help you further.

It wounds like you are getting interference from you tv to the receiver. You can try a few different things here.

1. Connect the tv output into another input on you receiver to see if it isnt the channel on the receiver.

2. Try a different set of cables between the tv and receiver. Faulty cables can give you problems.

3. Connect the cable from you tv to a different device. (another dvd vcr blue ray etc.) This will tell you if its the receivers or the tv.

downloaded manual and bought componet cables for hook up

tv lg codes= 0016, 0038, 0039, 0127, 0128, 0157, 0158

my best guess on this one is probably not the speakers but the sound system or device sending the signal to the speakers or the wiring to the speakers is shot if you are sure that all of this is fine then the problem is the speakers do not have enough power to play and it might be the psu that is shot.

Check your audio settings in the receiver "main menu" set them to "Auto" Then check your audio out settings on the PS3 for whatever you are using (RCA or Digital) Hope this helps. If you still have an issue, post a comment and I can help you some more.

The speaker cables are the ones that clamp or tighen down on the back of the reciever. All the spkr wires have to have the positive and negative leads correct. Also not aven one little strand of wire can be touching another conductor or you will have this problem. Make sure all leads are correctly ran and hooked up positive to positive and negative to negative from the back of the reciever all the way to the speakers. This should solv your problem.

check the type of cable you are using. low end cable lets in a lot of static and distortion, if I were you I would look into some higher end cable.
I find 9 times out of 10 with situations like yours the cabling usually is the culprit.

If you don't mind resetting all of your personal parameters you might want to flush everythign and start fresh.

The manual says to Hold TONE CONTROL and PressStanby/On to turn the unit on as if you want to reprogram it.

Press Program </> to select Preset

At this point I would think we would had established that it CAN turn on or not.

If it's ON, Press STRAIGHT until CANCEL appears, then Standby/On to Cancel and turn it off.

Try to turn it on normally.

I had the same problem. Set the reciever on 6 channel stereo. On this setting, you should be getting the same sound out of each speaker. Isolate which speakers aren't getting sound. Now, on your speaker switch (the A/B button), select A. If that doesn't fix it, select B. If that doesn't fix it, try A and B (if you can on your reciever).

Now, when you switch back to pro-logic, make sure your a/b channel switch is in the position that worked in 6 channel stereo. Yamaha recievers have a memory, and when you switch various modes, it makes auto adjustments based on what you had set in the past.

Hope this helps

If you can't use one of the Optical Digital Audio INPUTs on the HTR-6030, why don't you just use the Analog Audio Out on the HDD and an Analog Audio IN on the HTR-6030? It has one actually marked 'DVR', but any one would do.

I hope you've figured this out by now, but if you haven't...

My guess would be to press the SUR. DECODE button a few times on the Remote and see where that takes you.

There's possibly some leakage internally.

Do you have a normal (Playback only) CD player on the MD/CD-R input? It's supposed to support a RECORDING device as you can see by the OUT (REC) connections. A recorder would have shielded cables there and maybe the circuitry is such that ungrounded/unshielded output to the recorder allows a leak of the FM, which is developed inside the receiver.

Since you know that FM is leaking why don't you just selct some other idle source before selecting MD/CD-R? Have you also heard, say, the DVD, if it is playing when you select MD/CD-R?

Or skip the analog route entirelzy and run digital cables from your CD player to one of the Digital Inputs, if you have a spare one. They're all functionally the same. I guarantee the FM won't get in that way.

The indicator is telling you you have a 2-channel input. You may have the Blu-Ray connected wrong. Or the source is only Stereo. I need more details to assess that.

The sound coming from all speakers is normal if you have any surround mode selected, regardless of the characteristics of the source

I imagine if you experiment you might find all speakers playing for any number of 2-channel sources, not just Blu-Ray. Besides actual Pro Logic decoding, the various surround modes can provide some interesting effects on non Dolby Surround material.

I recommend that you try them all on various recordings and you may find one or another of them preferable over vanilla stereo. I find that any given artist or music type, even within a given CD, may sound 'better' with different surround settings.

The manual (on page 47) says the settings are only effective when decoding Dolby Digital or DTS source signals. Does that conflict with your symptoms or match them?

It has nothing to do with the input you choose. A speaker wire is shorted. Disconnect each one in turn and try it. The last one disconnected before it stops failing is the one.

First, NEVER turn the volume all the way up to see what's wrong. If HALF volume doesn't work you're only risking a catastrophic speaker blowout if you should suddenly flick the switch that's causing the problem with FULL volume on.

Look for the MUTE or Volume +/- controls on the remote and indicators.

It could be that every sound has its recording style, some record the sound to just left or right only(mono left or mono right) some has stereo, recorded on left and right. Some have induced additional sound that only surround sound is best at.

Or some base on signal strength, some cut or boost only to the level it is set to appear.

Sounds like it could be a major problem. But...It could be as simple as a fuse.

Do you know how to use an Ohm Meter or a Multi Meter??

If not, there is still something you can check, if you feel comfortable taking the thing apart.

1. Power it down.
2. Open it up, and look for blown fuses.
3. You can't always tell by looking...especially if the are "Slow-Blow" fuses.
4. If you know how to use a multi meter, you can check the fuses in place.
4a. You have to turn it on.
4b. Put your multi meter on VAC. Put the probes on both sides of a fuse. If you measure no voltage the fuse is good. If it measures voltage, the fuse is bad. (I know it sounds backwards, but a meter only measures the difference between voltages, and a good fuse will have the same voltage on both sides, hence no voltage)
4c. Replace bad fuses.

5. If you are uncomfortable with the powered on method, you can remove the fuses, ONE AT A TIME, (so you don't get confused...no pun intended), with POWER OFF. A fuse puller is a useful tool. If you don't have one, BE CAREFUL!
5a. Put your multi meter on Ohms. Measure resistance across the fuses. If resistance is real low (like less than 4 ohms), the fuses are good. If the resistance is high (like 1k to infinity), the fuse is bad.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck!
