Top 20 Yamaha HTR-5930 Receiver Questions & Answers

DVD output (HDMI) to HDMI input on TV will transfer both audio and video from DVD to TV. Audio output on TV to unused Input on Yamaha receiver (Aux, CD, etc.). This hookup will allow DVD and TV channels audio playback through your Yamaha receiver. Remember to test any/all new hookups or connections using minimum settings (volume, etc.), and bring up levels slowly for the initial testing.

go to menu and then speakers you should see a diagram of your configuration move the cursor to the rears and adjust the level of volume. that should do it

The signal that comes from most tv's via the optical output is a stereo signal only. That is what your receiver is reading. You would have to manually set your receiver to decode the signal into surround,.

Some surround modes don't use the center channel. This is where most vocal tracks go to.

Any speaker 6ohm minimum with minimum 20watts nominal

hi,
First off all you have to check the frond L/R out put of your Yamaha AVR. One more thing is check the is the speaker A/B option. you can see the selection button on the frond panel of your receiver. If the out put of the AVR is ok then you have to check the Network circuit inside the acoustimass sub. You have to remove the back panel of sub. There you can see a network circuit board. first of all you have to check the 5 lamps at its input stage. It is used as a protection for the speakers. check the continuity of the five lamps. If any one found open then you have to replace the same. Have added the picture of that network. you can see the five lamps in the left side.Also check the fusible resistors in the board. its value will be written on its top.
ok

The simplest for the movie would be to connect the Optical digital audio out of the TV (above the VGA port) to the Optical Audio In on the receiver. You will need to get this cable from any store that sells TOSLink cables. The manual for the TV is available here: http://www.lg.com/uk/tv-audio-video/televisions/LG-led-tv-42LE5300.jsp . The manual for the receiver is available at the Yamaha support page if you are a registered Yamaha customer: http://download.yamaha.com/search/product/?category_id1=16445&&category_id2=16446&product_id=1060939 .

For the XBox, I'd suggest the same connection if you are using HDMI out on the XBox. If you are using component or composite video, route the audio cables to the receiver's RCA audio in.

I hope this helps.

Use a 3.5 mm to 2Male RCA cable. Plug this into an AUX or CD input in the back. Adjust the volume on the iPod as well as the master volume to balance out the sound. The headphone on the receiver is output only.

The "MUTE" function on your remote control has been activated.To deactivate the "MUTE" function, simply press the "MUTE" button on your remote control. (Make sure the volume control is turned down to avoid damage to your system.) If you misplace or lose your remote control, you will have to purchase a new remote control unit, as there is no duplicate function on the front panel of your stereo. Unplugging the stereo will not deactivate the muting circuit, as the microprocessor "remembers" if the muting circuit was active prior to being turned off or unplugged. If you need to purchase a remote control, you may order one directly from our parts office.

My audio in wont work when connected to my note note book pc,it worked fine about 2mons ago, ive even switched audio in cords and still nothing. Both my music on my pc and stereo wok seperatly but wont when connected HELP!!!

You can buy video-to-HDMI converters. Here's one through Amazon.com, but there are many other sources. I just picked it as a sample since it was a nice picture. I didn't do much searching, so I don't know how common or expensive a converter with multiple input capability might be. But simpler A/V selector switches are available, so if you have several things you want to connect you can get one to use along with the converter.

Keep in mind that conversion to HDMI won't give you the same quality as the direct HDMI output from a device. So if you have several devices with HDMI outputs, you might be better off buying a new receiver with HDMI inputs instead of dealing with switches and converters. It will ultimately be easier to hook everything up, and you'll have better A/V quality too.

Hello,
It sounds like you may have wired your soure's video and audio to your tv. If your using an av receiver, than you dont need to send audio to the tv, only to the receiver. so here is what you can do.
1-Verify that you have an audio connection from your source to your a/v receiver
2-Change the receivers input using the "source" or "input" button.
Good luck

The XBox is probably hooked up separately to the amplifier, try cycling the inputs on the amplifier. If that doesn't work replace the cbale between your amplifier and tv.

This is a common question on this site. Amps of all types have protection circuits to keep them from doing a self meltdown. Testing follows this logic. 1. Remove all speaker wires. 2. Keep the volume down - all the way. 3. Turn the unit on. 4. If it does not trip off, then there is a problem either in a speaker or the wiring. a. Reconnect one at a time until/unless it trips off b. That will tell you where to look further.
If it does trip off, then there is an internal circuit issue in the amp and probably requires professional help to fix.

The most common problem found on FixYa for Audio Video Receiver's is:

My receiver say's "Protect" or turns on then off. What's wrong? Seven times out of ten it is a shorted speaker or speaker wire. To determine your exact problem, the first step is to disconnect all speaker wires "at your receiver" Next: Turn the receiver back on. If your receiver still says "protect" or turns off, it needs to be serviced. If your receiver stays on; reconnect your speakers one at a time and power back up after each speaker. You may find that after reconnecting all speaker wires it works! Most commonly the small braids of wire from the + to the - have touched and have caused the problem. In some instances, you noticed the problem only when turning the volume up. either way, make sure the exposed wires to your receiver are no longer than 1/2" long and are completely under the screw down terminal or slide in. When you've found the wire or speaker with the problem, your receiver will go back into "protect" At this point, disconnect the wire from the speaker at the speaker that may be causing the problem then test again.* Note* Make sure speaker wires do Not touch each other as this Will cause a short! If you turn the receiver back on and it stays on, you now know the problem is in your speaker itself. To test your speaker, you will need a multimeter. Set it to ohms resistance and touch the speaker terminals, if there is a short internally the meter will read "1......" If it's an analog meter, it will peg to the right. There's your problem. Now, within any speaker there are quite a few possibilities as to what could be causing the problem. Most common is a blown coil and the speaker needs to be replaced. Some speakers have internal crossovers (usually floor standing speakers) and may have a shorted or burnt board (usually very visible brown burn marks on the board) and can possibly be repaired if your handy with a soldering iron. Now, if you disconnect the speaker wire at the speaker and it still says "protect" Check your wire for the obvious cut or nail thru the wire if possible. If your system has wiring that runs behind walls, you may need to use your meter again. Disconnect the wire at both ends, keep the ends separated, put your meter on ohms resistance and touch probes to the + and - wires at one side. If the meter pegs to the right or reads "1...." the wire is shorted and needs to be replaced or repaired at the short. Hope this helps.

If they have been set up correctly according to the directions under USING BASIC MENU on page 20 of the manual, they should be okay, but you might want to make them louder using the same procedure but cheating them to be louder than the rest.

For temporary, on-the-fly adjustment, page 26 has this for adjusting any individual speaker while listening to a music source:

Press AMP on the remote and then press LEVEL repeatedly to select the desired speaker.

Find the rest on page 26.

... Incorrect setup; incorrect speaker definition; speaker B selected instead of speaker A.

you most likely have audio output shorted, when that happens the unit goes into proteccfion to prevent furter damage, you must have it repaired

DEPENDING ON THE TYPE CONNECTION YOU ARE USING(EXAMPLE HDMI,COMPONENT,OR COMPOSITES) INTO THE RECEIVER IS THE SAME TYPE OF WIRES YOU USE GOING TO THE BACK OF THE TV
