Question about Yamaha RX-V2400 Receiver

1 Answer

Receiver goes standby everytime I change settings

The receiver works fine as long as no setting such as Speaker level,stereo to 7 channel/dolby (or vice versa) is not changed. It has happened after a recent lightning strike on satellite tv receiver antenna entered the satellite receiver via the coaxial cable,passed through the RXV2400's body cover and then through the subwoofer output cable in to the subwoofer electronics and thereon to the earthing of the AC supply.At the time of strike,all units were switched off ( Not Standby) still the damage occurred because of lack of earthing,learnt after incurring a great cost! Please suggest remedies.

    I have further noticed that during the few seconds between power on and speakers relays being on all settings can be changed without affecting the unit,but any change after that will make it go in to "off mode" with the displays off, speakers off with a thump etc. Again,the unit goes off mode when the Audio CD player (Connected thru coax)is switched off while it was playing,which was not the case before the lightning strike.When the unit is up and running for say 10-15 minutes, it accepts change of soundstages say from stereo to Church/Rock etc with a largish thump of speakers without going in to off mode.It does not accept changes in soundstages from Dolby/DTS to 2 Channel Stereo nor speaker level setting etc and goes off in any case.

    Thanks for going thru this longish description of symptoms.Looking forward to your suggestions.

    The remote/buttons on the unit both yield the same result.I have tried it without the sub woofer connected, as the subwoofer electronics was badly damaged.As I have explained earlier, the lightning surge came in via the satellite coax to the satellite unit, which incidentally touched the casing of the Yamaha unit.From the casing of the yamaha unit it found an outlet in the output cable going to subwoofer(SWF)through the RCA plug .While at subwoofer it finally found the AC earth as the AC supply cable to SWF was 3 pin and in all else (Satellite indoor unit and Yamaha unit) only 2 pin(Phase and neutral).As you might imagine,the subwoofer outlet (RCA plug)at the yamaha unit and nearby earthing(DC) area of the PCB on which it was mounted was completely fried.I also suspect it is probably a case of some earth wire that has burnt,but unable to locate where.I have repaired the burnt PCB with copper wire soldered wherever required.I will upload the photo next time.Meanwhile, let me look at the main PS board and the control unit DC earths and report back to you.

    Thanks & regards..

What if anything have you had replaced/fixed so far? a fairly likely problem is going to be IC (chip) damage in the control electronics, also quite a number of soldered joints could need attention, all components could potentially have been damaged in some way. I mostly suspect it would be a problem in the power supply/conditioning part of the unit, in particular the ground/earth connection from the main control circuit board to the power supply. Also make sure the main power cable of the unit has a good earth still. If you want a bit of help checking this yourself, you will need a multimeter, possibly an ESR meter, a soldering iron and a digital camera. post us a shot or two of the inside and we can hopefully talk you through what to check. An independent ground for this sort of unit is useful and cheap and easy enough to do - please ask again if you want help with this. Hope this helps :)

    ps - have you tried it without the subwoofer connected yet?

    pps - the main control board ground probably goes directly to the case, as does the external ground connection.

    ppps - are you using the remote or buttons on the receiver? there could be a problem with the remote recieving part.

I would:
1- First make sure you are properly testing using a reliable source, such as a CD Player or itunes. 2- Make sure the Listening Preset is not on Dolby Pro Logic. Make sure it is on Stereo mode and see if the problem persists.
What usually happens is that when listening to 2ch (Left and Right) Audio such as Television or Music and Dolby Pro Logic is on as a preset, Dolby Pro Logic analyzes both Stereo tracks, tries to detect the voices (center channel), ambient sounds (surround and fronts) and processes the signals into a 5.1 or 6.1 System. You tend to get a fading effect when Dolby Pro Logic is selected and listening to an old VHS, DVD or even music.
To remove a preset, make sure you select the Stereo button at the bottom left of the remote to pan through the options.
Hope this helps

Try changing the audio settings in your tv. Sometimes changing from pcm to dolby digital or vice versa can get your audio back up on these channels. Remember some stations are broadcasting in digital pcm and or dolby digital. I would leave tv on pcm. If that doesnt work check to make sure your not in a second audio mode (meaning set is on sap) sometimes a customer will accidentally hit the sap button. Put unit on stereo setting

I don't know how to connect the speakers to my insignia receiver.
Well, this is a two channel (stereo) receiver. If you have two speakers, look to rear of the unit and connect right speaker to the right output terminal and vice versa with left speaker. If you have four speakers, there are an option if the receiver has systems A and B of speakers set. Do the same with B system and listen to all four speakers using switch at the A+B position. Good

Denon AVR-682 center channel has no output
You may have had the receiver set to "Stereo" mode, or Analog instead of "Digital" or "Auto" (automatically switches to digital when it detects a signal) modes. Also, setting it to "Direct" (2-channel from an analog source) could result in loss of center channel. Or your Surround Parameter dial (on the higher-end Denons, at least) could be set to a 2-channel mode.
Finally, if your digital inputs are incorrectly assigned (e.g., COAX1 instead of OPT1, or OPT2 instead of OPT1) for that source, the receiver will use the Analog signal which is stereo-only. You could get a center channel via Dolby Pro Logic II but it would be a "matrixed" signal, not the "real" center channel you could get via digital input using Dolby Digital or DTS.
(If all else fails, re-check your center channel speaker wire connections. It's very unlikely, but also possible, that either the receiver center channel amp or the speaker has failed.)

Low volume on LG HDTV
I encountered the same thing using the HDMI interface on my new TWC cable box (Motorola DCX-3200). After a little bit of research, I finally fixed it by changing the digital audio mode in the cable box using this procedure:

1. Be sure the TV is on and connected to the cable box.
2. Using the cable box remote turn power OFF.
3. Immediately press the MENU key on the remote. The USER SETTINGS menu should appear on the TV screen.
4. Select the ADDITIONAL HDMI SETTINGS >>> menu item.
5. The ADDITIONAL HDMI SETTINGS menu will appear.
6. Scroll to the AUDIO OUTPUT item and select this.
7. Change the setting from AUTO to L-PCM.
8. Return to the main page
9. Using the remote, cycle power OFF.
10. When the cable box is turned on again, you should be good to go.

I realize these instructions are specific to the DCX-3200, but there may be a similar setup option available in your cable box as well.

The problem here is that the cable box is by default configured to use Dolby Digital audio, which requires an additional 10dB of headroom to deal with the boosted LFE channel. If the cable operator hasn't taken pains to set the system up correctly (and most haven't, apparently), the digital audio level sent on the HDMI interface will be approximately 11dB down from normal analog line levels on the HDTV channels. Changing to straight linear PCM sets the TV receiver audio level on the HDTV channels to match the levels on the non-HD channels.

The only problem with this fix is that if you intend to feed a Home Theater receiver that uses Dolby Digital processing with the cable box output you will lose the Dolby encoding feature and be forced into straight 2-channel stereo. For a simple installation like mine where I'm just feeding the TV, this fix works fine. If you have a more complex setup that takes advantage of Dolby Digital features (when it's available in program material), you may have to live with the problem.

For a technical reference on why this happens, see http://www.megahz.com/specimages/Dolby/LM100%20Cable%20App%20Note%2011-05.pdf

Hope this is useful.

Center Speaker Audio Very Distorted
Love your screen name.

You didn't say what, if anything, preceded the appearance of the problem. There might be a clue.

Can you describe the distortion? Is it excessively bassy? If so, is it happening on all sources?

I'm assuming this is a modern digital receiver that is capable of many soundfield simulations as well as native Dolby Digital, DTS, multi-channel. If so we can use a stereo source and through simulation redirect some of it to the center speaker.

Using one of your receiver's many multi-channel simulation modes, put in a CD or tune an FM station and use it to diagnose the problem during later steps.

If it's only a single source and that source uses individual analog channel RCA cables, swap in another one or temporarily move the Center Channel feed to one of the other channels to see if it's before the receiver (in the source).or inside the receiver.

For multiple sources:

Is your Center speaker defined properly as Large or Small in the receiver's setup menu?The size refers mostly to the bass-handling capacities of all your speakers rather than their physical size. Speakers designated as 'Small' will not be sent much in the way of bass because they can't handle it well. The LFE/subwoofer channel(s) will get all the bass that was intended for them instead.

If you have a Small speaker improperly defined as Large it may be getting bass that it can't handle and that might sound like distortion. Having a Large speaker defiend as Small would result in less bass than expected but otherwise 'clean' sound.

Check the speaker setup in the menu for excessive volume level relative to the others. There is usually a calibration procedure the receiver will use to help you adjust the subjective voume of each speaker using white noise or tones.

Hope this helps.

Yamaha RX-V663 wont play rear surround
The best way to get Dolby sound working is to connect the components using the optical links.
As long as you are using PCM the Dolby sounds will never get to your system. It's switching the Dolby sound off as soon as it detects PCM. I think the only way you will get Dolby on is via a optical cable which should let you have bitstream.

Back speaker sound
Why would you only hook up one speaker for the rear channel? in 7 channel stereo, all speakers have 100% signal sent to them as "stereo" in Dolby digital, rear speakers are for "effects" not dialog. like a plane flying past you or a car driving by, that's when you hear a rear speaker. It also needs to be placed behind you, not next to you or in front of you. Unless you are using zone 2 & 3 the receiver's surround back will work. if you only have left,right,center,sub & rear; the rear speakers should go to surround speakers not surround back. If you still have questions, post a comment and I can explain further. Hope this helps
