Stanby light for zone 3 is on , cant shut down the volume, i need to reset the receiver, any steps i have to follow?

Setting the RX-V861 remote control to operate Zone 2:

1. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object and press the [CODE SET] button RX-V861 remote control. The[TRANSMIT INDICATOR]on the remote should flash twice.
2. Using the [NUMERICAL KEY PAD] on the remote and key in 9992, the [TRANSMIT INDICATOR] should flash.

Assigning the receivers internal amp for Zone 2:

1. Set the remote control selector to [AMP]. (Located to the right of the volume buttons on the Remote.).
2. Press the [SET MENU]button on the remote control.
3. Arrow down to Manual Setup and press the Enter button on the remote control.

5. Arrow to Speaker Set and press the [ENTER] button on the remote control.
6. Arrow to the EXTRA SP ASSIGN and select ZONE2
7. Press the [RETURN] button on the remote control to exit out and return to the Manual Setup.

NOTES: There is an option for setting the Maximum Volume and Initial Volume in the Zone Set menu.

• Max Volume: This is an optional feature but isrecommended to prevent the accidental change in volume levels thatcould damage the speakers and receiver.
• Initial Volume: This is also a great feature that would seamlessly start the volume level for the second or third zone at the desired level.

We do not recommend using any Speaker Selector boxes to enable more than the recommended number of speakers per terminal.
Controlling Zone 2 using the RX-V861 remote control:

1. If the Main Zone on the receiver is on, press the [POWER BUTTON]down and while holding that button down press the [PHONO]/[**] button on the remote. The [TRANSMIT INDICATOR] will light up.
2. You will not be able to use the following buttons on the remote: (Pressing any other button will cause the remote to exit Zone 2 mode. [POWER], [STANDBY], [VOLUME], [MUTE] and the [INPUT SELECTOR] buttons [DVD], [CD], etc.)

There are the instructions as written straight from yamaha. If you need any further assistance please let me know.
Thank you,

Hi

could you send me the model of your yamaha.

Please use the add a comment link, as if you accept the solution I will no longer be able to respond to you.

Thanks

if the reciever shut down with zone 2 on, zone 2 volume at -3 and nothing connected to zone 2 it needs repair if not reconnect the speakers to zone 2 speaker connections and make sure you do not have more than 4 pair of speakers with impedence matching volume controls or a impedence matching speaker selector box

i had the volume of the multi-zone tuned too high and was attenuating it in an external control box. Once i took the multi-zone volume down to -25db, the problem went way. My main zone was operating around -35db so did not have the problem.

For US and Canada:

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, then plug it back in while holding down the POWER key.

For other countries:

1. With the power cord plugged in, turn the POWER key OFF. Then, while holding down th ON/STANBY key press POWER.

i have the same problem with a onkyo tx ds494

If you have zone 2 active with the level turned up too much it will cut out the whole unit. Try disconnecting zone 2 speakers, then turn the volume level way down on zone 2 and it should stay on if that is the problem.

your set needs a tech due to excessive voltage the regulator got very hot causing it to damage when opperating systems a fan is needed to cool it off.goodluck.
