Question about Yamaha HTR-5440 Receiver

2 Answers

Check sp wires?

Hi, I have had my HTR-5440 receiver for a few years and it has worked great. Lately though, whenever I turn it on, after only 2-3 minutes (sometimes in only seconds), it just shuts off. When i turn it back on it says 'CHECK SP WIRES'. I have tried reconnecting all of the wires and still does not function properly. Could it be caused by dust built up in the unit? Hope you can help. Thanks!

Your problem most likly is not because of dust. Its a bad connection in the amp section or the protection circuit, or the speakers them self have a problem. There could also be a componet problem. Unless you know how to troubleshoot solid state electronics,you should take the unit in to be serviced. It would most likly cost more then its worth to repair. A unit this old is u replaced at this point. Good Luck

Where and how do I hook my iPod to my htr 5440 receiver?
Anything that has a headphone output can be adapted to feed an RCA cable pair for standard stereo to any audio device with a standard RCA input (except PHONO). Get a cable like the one described here:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.aspc_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=665&seq=1&format=2

and connect it into any available analog input EXCEPT "Phono". Turn the PC's volume control for the headphone volume up. Of course, if you have a sound card with the usual green front speaker outputs that would work, too.

Microphone for my YAMAHA HTR-5440
Let me make this clear to you that your Yamaha does not support Microphone but the trick is you can still do it. All you need is a stereo jack to a RCA connector cable.Check this out http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/connection/jack-stereo-rca-2.html It is easily available in the market. The stereo jack will fit into your microphone and the RCA to your Amplifier/Reciever. Plug the RCA into CD/Tape input but not in the Phono n do your thing. Let me know if this works,coz I'm really curious.
