While adjusting the speaker levels using the onscreen menu, My receiver quit recognizing the surround speakers. Troubleshooting steps taken: Checked connections at unit. disconnected power for a few minutes and re-energized. Attempted to activate the surround speakers from the on screen menu. Switched surround wires to front terminals to confirm connections at speakers are tight. Unit is 1 year old and haven't experienced any problems.
I JUST EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION HERE IS THE SOULTION YAMAHA SENT ME TO RESET THE SYSTEM HTR-5990 YAMAHA HTR-5990 FACTORY PRESET PROCEDURES All models require the STANDBY/ON button to be turned OFF to start the reset process. NOTE: The remote control cannot be used during the reset procedure. All necessary buttons to complete the reset process are located on the front panel of the receiver. This procedure is not intended to correct intermittent shut-off symptoms or problems MODEL: HTR-5990 (U.S.A. model/s) (BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, PLEASE READ THE ABOVE NOTES!) 1. Before you start this procedure, locate the MASTER ON/OFF button and the STRAIGHT/EFFECT button on the Front Panel of the unit. 2. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR RECEIVER’S MASTER ON/OFF HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. 3. With the Right Hand, press and hold the STRAIGHT/EFFECT button. With the Left Hand, press the MASTER ON/OFF button and HOLD both buttons for no more than “3” SECONDS, AT THE SAME TIME. SP IMP. * 8 MIN. will appear on the display, which indicates you are in the Diagnostics Mode. 4. Rotate the PROGRAM KNOB to the right (ONCE) until the display reads PRESET *CANCEL. 5.

NOTE: Yamaha receivers don’t have to be reset during normal operation. It is not recommended that you reset the receiver unless a setting has been changed that you are not aware of, or the receiver is not operating properly. The reset procedure will clear an incorrect setting that might be causing abnormal operation. GOOD LUCK

There is a step missing between 5 and 6. My unit won't turn off.

Have had this unit for a couple of years. In the last couple of weeks it has developed a problem where when the system is turned on - receiver normally in standby- there is an area of video in the same location as the setup menu that is gray with a smaller portion in the lower right corner in a different color. Selecting setup will bring up the menu and return clears the screen. If I adjust the volume the colored area reappears and I cannot see the volume level being selected.
