There is no fuse to the speakers your rear speaker wires should run under the kick plateon drivers side broken or disconnected wire or burned out channel in radio.

To see the operations on the front of the Yamaha receiver you must press the Zone Control button on the front of the receiver. Note: Only analog signals can be sent to Zone 2. If you want to output the sound from Zone 2, connect an external component to USB Thumb drive, USB iPhone/iPod, Network, AV 5-6 or Audio 1-2 by analog connection. For AM/FM radio the antennas must be attached.

One way of proving it ISN'T the amp circuitry is to remove the pre-main jumpers and jack in a source that has its own volume control (or try a CD that starts really low) because this bypasses ALL the amps controls. If it sounds ok (albeit LOUD) I'd suspect oxidized contacts on the controls. Turn it off and vigorously operate all controls a zillion times to wear through it. In mosty cases it's the unused controls that fail because they never get wiped. Maybe a shot of contact cleaner on those you can access.

Are you using the factory speaker wires or did you run brand new ones ?
That could make a big difference

this may sound dumb but....

is there an input switch on the amp?
And is the polarity correct on the input wires?

Hello kaykayscott1,

Here's a link to the manual.

First make sure that the green green/black and purple purple/black pairs of wires are properly connected to operate the rear speakers.

You can check and adjust the "fader" and "rear volume" settings from the front panel. Go into settings by pressing the CONTROL knob. Then press CONTROL repeatedly until you get to the setting you want to check or adjust. When the display reads "R-VOLUME", turn the CONTROL knob from 0-35. Press CONTROL repeatedly again until the display reads "FADER" and turn the CONTROL knob from Rear 15 - Front 15 until you get the setting you want. Exit audio control by pressing any button.

Hope this helps.

Hello ryan_4run,

The "non-fading" output may be turned ON or the rear output may be set to R-SP:S/W or both.

Press AUDIO repeatedly until NOFAD:ON appears in the display. Press DOWN button to turn non-fading output OFF. Also make sure that the setting for the rear output is set to R-SP:FUL and not to R-SP:S/W.

Hope this helps.

Your front speakers are more than likely blown. They make all kinds of different models and price ranges to look at. This gives you a good opportunity to upgrade your stock speakers to handle what your throwing at it.

Press the audio button (A button in right hand upper corner) till you see FADE or BAL press the up down or left right arrows to adjust the fade and balance till all your speakers work.

If they still dont work, check the wiring at the speaker and the wiring behind the head unit to make sure their properly intact and properly grounded.

Press the <<,>> button and select "Fader".
Turning the Rotary knob clockwise fades the sound to the front; turning the knob counterclockwise fades the sound to the rear speakers.
The display changes as follows:"Front XX" will be displayed where "XX" is the value from 1 to 12.
"Rear XX" will be displayed where the "XX" is the value from 1 to 12.
When fader is 0, "CENTER" will be displayed.
