It sounds like the volume control pod has gone bad and needs replaced (The knob shaft connects to the pod main body and the inside of the volume pod is what controls the rate of volume,If the inside becomes worn ,broken or dirty the volume will become erratic) Replace volume pod ! ..You may try cleaning by taking off the volume knob and getting a can of pressure air and blowing the dust out!
Please rate response!!

or you could buy a whole RX-V800 WITH a remote for $136 delivered...

(I have the RX-V659). Because the Yamaha remote has TWO SEPARATE buttons - power ON and power OFF (standby). This problem can't be fixed. There's a code to choose power ON and another code for power OFF. But one button can't be two buttons. Bad engineering\ design by Yamaha in my opinion

This monster has a lot of built-in opportunities to tune or mis-tune the sound but nothing to deal with the effect you're addressing.

A discussion of lip sync:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_to_video_synchronization

There is extensive use of audio and video signal processing circuitry with significant delays in television systems. Particular video signal processing circuitry which is widely used and contributes significant video delays include frame synchronizers, digital video effects processors, video noise reduction, format converters and MPEG pre-preprocessing.

The video monitor processing circuit may delay the video stream. Pixelated displays require video format conversion and deinterlace processing which can add one or more frames of video delay.

A video monitor with built-in speakers or line-out may not delay sound and video paths by the same amount of milliseconds. Some video monitors contain internal user-adjustable audio delays to aid in correction of errors.

If your receiver has another digital audio input available to connect to, such as a coaxial or optical input, you can use either of those for the PS3. Another option is to use one of the composite audio inputs, but however, your surround mode for that type of input will not be Dolby Digital, DTS or any of the high definition surround sound formats. You will instead be able to get one of the Dolby ProLogic formats, or one of the various surround modes that are proprietary to the receiver model by it's digital signal processor...depending on which you choose.

Hi, i have similar/same problem, on initial power on, you have after 3 -4 secs an audible click from inside and all is good... if you then try to change inputs either via front panel and or remote, the unit switches off. if you change input prior to audible click, ie within 2-3 secs of power on , all is good and amp works fine, until you change input etc...very painful fault.. i thought it is sensing /checking the speaker outputs and detecting short etc ,so powering off to protect.. but then just my thought, i suspect something else, if anyone has the fix and can repair , please let me know.

What if you DON'T use the remote? Does it shut down when just using it?

If SO, you have a bigger problem.

If NOT, it sounds like the remote is hosed - sending a code to shut off.

Do you have another remote of any brand that you could set to do something simple, like change volume? Don't train it from the original, though, or it would do the same thing.

Mine did the same thing two days ago. No reason to suspect overheat as mine is in the open. Could be the power supply? Mine comes on after sitting for a while.

Test an audio source like "DVD" connected to the "Direct" input with left,center,right,rear,andsub input. put the receiver in "Direct mode" if you get audio, the main DSP chip is bad, get an estimate first since it can only be verified by bench testing the unit. It's not a cheap repair 400-500 range. Most new Yamaha receiver's in the modest range run 500-800- new. Hope this helps

in your menu ther is a place to assign video inputs. i suspect that the video input you are using for your game is not set to composite (you say that you are using the yellow, that would only work for composite). Search through your video menu til you come upon the part that says assign video inputs. then pick the correct (number 1, 2, front panel, etc) input and change it so it reads analog or composite. that should allow you to pass the video portion. if all else fail you can always connect the video portion to the tv directly.

If you can get it to turn on, you can check the problem by holding down the A/B/C/D/E and Right Preset buttons (on the amp not the remote) while turning it on (pressing Standby). This enters diagnostic mode and displays a message. If it says NO PROTECT then the protection circuits have not been triggered (see below).

If it won't turn on at all, try unplugging it and leaving it for a few days to let all the capacitors discharge. You often only get "one hit", so turn iton in diagnostic mode first.

If the dignostic message says "DC PRT nnnn" then one or more amplifier output stages have DC voltage and you will need to identify which one(s) and replace the blown output transistors and any other affected components. They aren't all that expensive, but dismantling this model is a bit of a struggle! However, if it turns on and stays on until you press a button, then the amp output stages may well be OK.

In which case, it is more likely that the microprocessor is detecting a voltage or current anomaly (PS PRT :nnnn or I PROTECT).

I had the same problem and, after replacing all components on the three main power boards, the problem went away until I reassembled it all, then it suddenly started again.

I now think this is possibly a grounding problem. Many of the boards are grounded via the chassis, and after some years use a grounding /chassis screw may get loose or oxidised causing the problem.

I dismantled the amp and soldered a length of hookup wire from a grounding point on each board to a grounding point on the next, so that all of the main boards' grounds are directly connected back to the power supplies grounds. I didn't worry about the front panel boards.

Also replace the 0.047F 5.5V memory backup button capacitor near the top of the input / microporocessor main board (second board from right) as this is prone to leakage, and check / clean any leaked electrolyte from this board. Icouldn't get a 0.047F capacitor so I used a 0.1F 5.5V one.

So far (touch wood) this has worked and I am running the amp as my main receiver for a while to make sure it's fixed the problem.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. You can try and reset the receiver by Unplugging it for 2 minutes and then plug it back in. Also make sure that the speaker wires are not shorted and there are no burnt components on the control board of the receiver (If you have disassembled the unit you'll be able to see the burnt components).
If the problem still persists, after checking the above things then please describe the issue more clearly and also tell me what all things have you tried to fix the issue.
Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Thanks Rylee

Sounds like your receiver has a cold solder joint on the power board at a transistor or capacitor. Not a major repair, however, it will probably run $100 or so to pull it apart, hunt it down and fix the problem. Not sure of your problem with the DVDR. Do you have a "line conditioning, surge protection" unit? Not a Power strip or low end monster surge. Panamax, APC, Furman, make line conditioning surge units that keep your power steady and will shut down in case of voltage fluctuation in both directions. They cost from 200 to 2000 depending on the equipment you are protecting. It is a necessary component to any system. Hope this helps.

If it's not speakers or wires, it need to go to service. The only other area to look would be in the setup menu, manual mode, parametric eq for rear channel and check if the settings are spiked. Beyond that, it's internal

Unplug the receiver for a minute then plug it back in. This resets the controls. If you still have a problem, post a comment and I will help you troubleshoot further. Hope this helps

The RX-V800 switches the various video signal types separately.
Since you are feeding S-Video to the TV the composite (yellow) input from your Wii is not going anywhere.
If you cant get S-Video output from the Wii then I'd suggest a simple Composite to S-video adaptor plug ($5 say). It worked for me with a Game Cube.
