IS there a way to easily repair it? (i have replaced the main fuse a couple of times after a storm when "all the power" was affected) is there an individual fuse for the SAT input? Thank You!

There is no individual fuse for the SAT input. If you were able to watch 2 channels at once and then, after a storm, (with nothing else changing) you can only watch one channel, then one of the tuners has been damaged and should be replaced by someone with experience.

The colours on my tv screen are all green and distorted can you tell me what the problem is its a samsung and its only 2 years old

YOU MAY HAVE CONNECTED THE RECEIVER TO AN INPUT ON THE TV THAT IS INCORRECT FOR THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE RECEIVER.

GET YOUR TV BACK ON THE CORRECT INPUT OR CHANNEL...CYCLE YOUR TV THROUGH ITS INPUTS BY...PRESSING THE INPUT, SOURCE, OR TV/VIDEO BUTTON ON YOUR TV REMOTE OR THE TV ITSELF.

IF THE PICTURE IS NOT RESTORED, CHANGE YOU TV TO CHANNEL 3 OR 4 USING TV REMOTE OR THE TV ITSELF.

IF THIS IS A 2ND TV, TUNE YOUR TV TO CHANNEL 60-73 USING THE BUTTONS ON YOUR TV REMOTE OR THE TV ITSELF.

ONCE YOUR TV PICTURE IS RESTORED, PRESS AND RELEASE THE SAT MODE BUTTON ON YOUR REMOTE TO ENSURE YOU'RE IN THE PROPER MODE FOR CONTROLLING YOUR RECEIVER.

YOU CAN ACCESS YOUR FEATURES, SETTINGS ETC, ON YOUR MENU BUTTON ON YOUR TV REMOTE.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Someone sat on the remote control for my Yamaha rx v557 and I have no tv picture--do have sound. System is set up to Direct TV. I can change channels and hear everything fine, but can't get a TV picture It...

If it was the remote that changed the function then likely the mode has been changed. You probably need to have it changed back to the input you plugged your DirectTv into, such as video1 or component, or cable/sat. etc, etc...

Won't Show DVD Picture or Hear From Surround Sound Speakers

The lack of video in the DVD can be isolated to the DVD players output mode, if you are using the component video out on the dvd player then be sure to follow the componet out of Receiver to the tv component inputs, if you are using the HDMI from a DVD HDMI into RECEIVER HDMI then go to TV HDMI, you cannot mix component and HDMI on this model of AVR receiver and acheive results, in other words keep the COMPONENT to Component and HDMI to HDMI signal path, the results will be similiar quality audio and video UNLESS you are doing a blu-ray source which will result 1080P quality, all other video, HD results to 1080i, about the audio, if all 5.1 test tones are satifactory to speakers but on playback modes for DVD or HD tv signals all you are receiving is LR which is basically 2 channel (stereo) you need to enable a MULTI-CHANNEL capability input, this must be a option on the DVD Player Audio MENU output, be sure it is set for DOLBY DIGITAl 5.1 or DTS outputs, be sure to have the receivers digital input enabled if you are running optical cable or coaxial digital for the audio, you will be sending a multi-channel input to the receiver when the Receivers Faceplace LCD displays 5-6 speakers. If it shows only LR or two speakers it is not locking into a 5.1 audio input.
