Most likely suspect is a breakdown of a capacitor, probably in the power supply -- one of the few modern electronic components that go bad over time. You'll probably need a Yamaha service center to get it fixed -- they'll give you an estimate before starting, but it may be a better investment to upgrade to a new receiver. It takes a skilled tech to fix this at the component level -- doubtful that replacement boards are available.
SOURCE: Yamaha RX-V596 Receive turns off after pressing Power
Sometimes the receivers turn off if the speakers are shorted in order to protect the AMP circuit. So try this - 1. Disconnect all cables (speakers), inputs from Tape Deck, VCR and other input devices), sub-woofers, rear speakers all. Except the AC power cord. Then turn it ON and see if it stays on. If it still has the same problem, then most probably your power circuit inside the receiver has a problem - like a shorted Capacitor or diode etc. Based on how technical you can be and what resources and time you want to spend, this is repairable. But based on the price of a receivers these days, it is not worth. Good Luck!

Hi Rocco
I too have searched the user manual on this unit, and have not found any reference to "memory guard". Can you give me more information about the feature you are trying to operate and I will try to assist you further
Here is a link to a PDF version of the manual for free. Just enter an email address and there you go.
regards
Graeme
SOURCE: Is the Yamaha RX-V596 capable of using HDMI in
Nope. Use S-Video or composite video In and digital audio in from the Cable Box, S- or composite-video out to the TV/Monitor.
OR (what I do) skip the receiver as a video middleman and take the HDMI video right to the TV; and run the Cable Box digital audio to the Receiver.
SOURCE: how do i hook up an ipod to the rx v596
If you get a dock and a 3.5mm plug to two RCA phono plugs lead, it will then connect to any spare aux imput socket. At the same time the dock will keep the battery in the i-pod charged. Or you can just plug the same lead into the headphone output of the i-pod, but the battery will run down.
SOURCE: Hi, I have a Yamaha RX-V596 that all of a sudden
reconnect all wires (make sure are placed in correctly) and make your connection with wires kind of tight (no druppy wires if extra coil it up) between devices....your receiver should have small wire hanging this is the antenna and the other wire should be grounded...and should take care of the humm....
feel free to rate the help
Is the hum in the receiver-attached speakers or the sub?
Self-powered sub?
How is the sub attached - RCA or speaker-level?
Disconnect the input(s) and see if it hums in the absence of an audio source. A bad audio cable shield or unwisely-routed audio cables will allow entrance of unwanted signals from external power sources, magnetic fields, even dimmer-controlled track lights. Sometimes, simply reversing the orientation of the ac power plug can eliminate humming.
If it hums with the sub attached, unplug the sub's power cord. Differences in AC ground potentials will generate hum across linked devices.
