Whenever I attempt to watch a movie or TV in any type of surround sound, the receiver makes a clicking sound and then shuts off. When you turn it back on it gives you the "Check Speaker Wire" error. I have checked all of my connections of the wire to the receiver and all of the connections to the speakers. Nothing is touching and the wires aren't even exposed. I made sure the impedence is set at 8 ohms and ran all of the various troubleshooting tips in the back of the user manual. IT works fine when in the "straight" mode, but will shut off if switched to any of the surround modes. It also works fine when the Xbox 360 is playing trough it, but the sound is only running the the front L and R channels. I have tried with A on and B off, B on and A off, and both off. Ultimately the result is always a little clicking sound with a shut off, followed by "Check Speaker Wire" error. I reset the receiver to the original factory settings, also with no positive result. This is a new receiver and worked just fine for the first month or two, and then just randomly started shutting off in surround mode. I am out of ideas, so any help or solutions you might have would be appreciated.
Found the source of the problem with "Check SP Wires"! to solve it is necessary to check each speaker connected to the device Yamaha on the rear panel (red and black) using the device for determining the number of ohms, which shall not be less than 4 ohms, in large passive speakers experienced in Amfitone AU-027, the result showed that left at 0.45 (7) ohms, and the right-hand column, as such, no.
The successful test ... and good music!

There could be a few different causes for the "Check Speaker Wire" error message and shut-off issue you are experiencing with your Yamaha receiver. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
Check the speaker wire connections again to make sure they are secure and not damaged. You may want to try re-seating the connections to ensure they are making good contact.
Make sure that the impedance setting on your receiver is correct for your speakers. If the impedance is set too high or too low, it can cause problems with the amplifier and may result in the "Check Speaker Wire" error message.
Check the speaker wire itself for any visible damage or breaks. If you find any damaged sections, you may need to replace the wire.
Make sure that your speakers are compatible with your receiver. If the speakers are not compatible, it can cause problems with the amplifier and result in the "Check Speaker Wire" error message.
If you have tried all of the above steps and the problem persists, it is possible that there is an issue with the amplifier or other internal components of the receiver. In this case, you may need to have the receiver repaired or replaced

Mine says it with no speaker wires hooked up to it.

I have the solution because i artificcially created this problem when improved my Yamaha rx v367 ,check the connection of all internal wires,i mean all of them

Has anyone come up with a solution? I am having the same issues with the htr-5830

Hello, I just bought HTR 6080 and I'm having same problem. When I turn up the volume, receiver will shut off by itself. When I turn it back on "Check SP Wire" message is displayed on receiver front panel. I tried eliminating one speaker at a time and tried two front main speaker only. Yes, did check speaker setting to 8OHM and I tried to program receiver in "Auto Setup" mode. While receiver setting itself in "Auto Setup" mode, it will shut off by itself. I remember I had old receiver and it had same problem. I did swap it at the store but still same problem. I have no idea what could I be doing wrong. As other mentioned, I have checked speaker wires OHMs, nothing I can find wrong with setup or hardware. I'm going to call Yamaha technical support if I can find there phone number. Think is getting me mad, and if this is not resolved soon I going with Harman Kardon.

Get rid of this piece of junk..i get the same error.. sounds like a Yamaha screw up.....

Are you using the bose speaker wires or after market speaker wires?
Posted on Apr 13, 2008
I undid all my speaker wires and reconnected them. I haven't had the problem since.

SOURCE: speaker impedance and the Yamaha RXV 463
You risk to crash a set of speakers. In any case this will have a detrimental effect on the sound

SOURCE: can I mix 6 and 8 ohm speakers?
Most Yamaha HTR's are high current receivers so setting the receiver to 8 ohms and running the 6 ohm speakers shouldn't be a huge problem. I wouldn't crank the volume though if i were you but at a decent level you should be fine.

i'm having the same issue. What's the deal?
The Receiver turns off and when turned back on gives message "Check SP Wire"
I also have the same problem
Goday. I have been having problems with my receiver for some time it shuts down when watching a movie.I purchace a new one a Yahama HTR-5940. It started doing the same thing,after trying a new speaker swaping out one at a time. I found I had a defective speaker.
Once that was repaired about two months it started again, this time a broken speaker wire was at fault.Afer about two months it started AGAIN.
I found out it was my DVD player was not set to Dobly Digital in 5:1 mode.
Once this was done I watch the last Star wars as loud as possible.It worked like a charm.
Then I was watching the Movie 300 it worked justed fine for the first hour.
Then it quit again and it comes up with check speaker wire error.I have purchase the best wire money can buy and the polarty is correct.
I am out of ideas.
Any help would be great!

I have the same problem with my 5790 and have disconnected all the wires except the power in. I turn the unit on and it goes into standby mode in about 5 seconds. I got the unit to stay on by hitting the a/b/c/d/e button on the front panel at the same time as the tuner up button to the right before I hit the power on button.
All the stuff that comes up on the display has no meaning to me so I am stuck.
Having the same problem here only everything worked fine for 5 or 6 years. I guess I have to go through and systematicall disconnect every speaker from the system and hope I find an offending one. Otherwise is it safe to assume that the receiver has just gone bad?
I have the same issue with an HTR-5830. No idea what to do. It just gives that 'check sp wires' and shuts off. Some of the speaker connections don't even work initially, either. I've changed up the wires, tried speakers one by one--nothing
I have the same system with the same problem... My system is about 3-4 years old. Somebody HELP.......
I have the same problem with my RX-V663. It's less then a year old. This is horrible.

I visited this website earlier
I got some compressed air can and blew mine out and that cured the speaker wire thing. Thank you.
