Top 20 Yamaha HTR-6130 Receiver Questions & Answers

As power amps are just two amps joined together all you need do is identify the left channel and compare it with the right. Ignore any parts common to both channels. The first thing to do is a visual check. If something looks broken burnt, or odd compared with the right channel then you have probably found the culprit. I suspect you could have a power output failure. It might be that the output devices are separate transistors. They might need to be replaced. By the way just follow either the internal speaker leads or the connections to locate the right and left channels.

If the turntable is newer kind you can connect it in any Stereo input like CD, VCR , etc. If the turntable is older model you can only connect it to PHONO input (if amp has one) and make sure earthing cable is connected on Amp Remember input is only stereo (unless your model has digital input) and select sound effect eg Pro Logic for enhanced sound,

Hi, just to start off the speakers are in and the volume is up, right. What do you have plugged in, for example a DVD player? The mode is set correctly for the item plugged in right. For the radio, an antenna must be plugged in to have it come in correctly. Hope this helps.

IF THERE IS A STORE BUTTON, PRESS IT AND HOLD THEN SWITCH ON THE AMP WHILE HOLDING THE BUTTON.

there must be red and white rca outputs, those are audio lines(stereo) get rca cables connect from the tv and into the AUX in the stereo amp, select aux on the amp front panel and you will get the quality sound you want,

There are two causes for this. One that there is a fault on the amp that is causing an overload circuit to trip and shut itself down. Or the settings of your speakers levels are wrong. So you are turning it up to hear the quiet parts of movies and therefore when louder sections come along your are driving the amp too much.Some DVD discs that have THX on them have a sound set up on them. If you have one access the THX sound menu on the disc and adjust your speakers to produce the correct levels. If it does happen after that there's a fault. By the way most of the George Lucas films (Star Wars) will have THX on them.

Is it a newer flat-panel tv? Should have an optical audio output jack. Just connect that to an optical input on the receiver.

the subwoofer connected to the SUB out should be a powered one.meaning an active speaker and not a passive.An active speaker have a built in amplifier.

HelloThe input selection done with the amp is not correct. It is now confugured to receive radio. just select input to AUX. Just pre 'amp' and then press 'input' repeteadly to select 'aux'.

HelloThe (+ve) & (--ve) poles of the connection wires have neen reversed is the meaning. Just interchange the wires of each either at speaker box or at the output terminals of the amp. If these connection are reversed, the sound effect will vary in intesity. OK.

HelloThere may have a doubled input voltage applied to amp boards at least for a second. It cannot be predicted whether it has damaged any more components or not. It can be confirimed only after a new transformer replacement. OK.

Is the sub you are using a powered sub? if not, that's the problem. the sub output is a line level signal.
Here's a link to the manual-see if that helps you.

To reset all codes back to factory settings do the following:

Press and hold AMP button.
While holding that button down, also press the AV POWER button for 3 seconds.
Now let go of those buttons.
Then use the number keys to enter the following code: 9981.
REMOTE SETUP OK should then appear on the front display.
The codes are now all reset to initial factory settings.

Thank you very much and good luck.

Generally speaking, an amp protects itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

Self-powered and accepts Line Level input.

Yeah, set it up according to the manual...

Your problem is not the Yamaha reciever. You need to figure out how to switch your tv remote to the inputs you have tried to plug the Wii into, Your TV remote should have some sort of "source" or "input" selection button, or it may have a row of buttons that are labled. Without knowing the brand of your TV or seeing the remote, I can't be more specific, but clearly this is a tv issue. You could also use the video out on your 5.1 reciever, but first solve the tv remote issue. Keith
