No stereo signal out from yamaha p 2500 s

I recently bought yamaha p 2500 s PA and am not recieving stereo .
the 1 jack out from my computer is a stereo jack , but the two input jacks from the same lead are not stereo tips. those two jacks go into an A channel and a B channel. The PA has a stereo setting so i am assuming the two input jacks were left and right , right ??
Would the two input jacks have to be stereo tips ?
I modified the lead replacing the input jack that had no signal with a stereo tip but still have no signal.
Does the jack with the signal have to be a stereo jack for the other to receive a signal ?

Thanks
Spence...............Melbourne

It's unclear what type of connectors are on the end of the cables(s) coming from your computer.

This amp only works with mono 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors, not standard RCA connectors.

Did you try the Right one in the Left Channel to see if the Left Channel worked?

Refer to the following manual and read up on the connectors (page 7) and the use of the Stereo/Parallel/Bridge Switch (page 8). When it is NOT in Stereo Mode the unit only uses the Right Channel controls and input.

STEREO/PARALLEL/BRIDGE switch
Use this switch to select the operating mode.
• STEREO mode
Channels A and B operate independently (as with a conventional
stereo amplifier). The Channel A input goes to the Channel
A output jacks, and the Channel B input goes to the
Channel B output jacks.
• PARALLEL mode
The Channel A input signal is output through both the Channel
A and Channel B output jacks. The Channel B input jacks do
not function. Channel A and B volumes can be independently
adjusted.
• BRIDGE mode
The Channel A input signal is output from the BRIDGE output
jacks. To adjust the volume, you must use the Channel A volume
control knob.

Surround problem with Yamaha HTR-5930 5.1 Channels Receiver

The signal that comes from most tv's via the optical output is a stereo signal only. That is what your receiver is reading. You would have to manually set your receiver to decode the signal into surround,.

How to listen thru headphones using a yamaha emx 88 mixer

Did sound for a southern gospel group, using a yorkville powered mixer. Not familiar with your mixer, but, on the Yorkville I had an unused 1/4" line level output with the monitor mix on it. I bought a cigar-sized, 3-channel headphone amplifier / splitter from Radio Shack, called a Boosteroo. Has 1/8" stereo plug that I adapted to the mono output, with a 1/8" stereo to 1/4" mono adaptor. It receives the line level (monitor in our case) signal and supports up to qty 3 - 1/8" plug headphones. Battery operated. No volume control, so I added an inline dial (rheostat) volume control cable. Can't pull up on Radio Shack, now, but, found it available, elsewhere, online. Worked great for me!
Good Luck SdDude

Why do I only hear static

Hi Cathy.. it sounds like you might be connected to the wrong jacks instead of the output that the headphones need.

Most high quality stereo headphones have a single 1/4" stereo plug that would readily plug into a 1/4" jack on the front of the stereo labeled "PHONES" or HEADPHONES".

Many lower quality "computer headphones" or headsets have two 1/8" plugs. One is often black or red and is for an included microphone that may be a boom type (shown below) connected to one of the speakers or an "in-line" type built into the cord itself. The headphone speakers in the headset get their signal from the other plug - which is usually green; but could be any color really. There should be 3 metal parts on the stereo headphone plug. The tip, the middle ring and the bottom ring. Many times the mic is mono (not stereo) and only has only a tip and a bottom ring on the plug. You can see stereo headphone and microphone plugs he picture below:

Computer Headphones or "Headset" with mic and phone plugs.

Your Yamaha stereo will probably NOT have 1/8" jacks to directly plug the headphone into. You can buy an adapter that you would plug your headphones into and then plug the adapter into the 1/4" jack on the stereo. One is pictured below:

Front and rear views of a "1/4" to 1/8" Stereo Adapter Plug" The front plugs into the stereo and the the smaller 1/8" headphones plug into the rear.

I hope this helps & good luck!

When I hook up my ipod to the speaker, its not loud

The IPOD does not put out the line level and worse, the IPOD is stereo so you need a mixer to mix the L and R channels before sending them to the line level input of the DSR112. Shorting the L and R from the IPOD together as can be done with commonly available adapters gives poor results. The input of the speaker is a balanced input and needs to be XLR or TRS BALANCED input. A 1/8 inch stereo jack to 1/4 inch adapter results in the two channels of the IPOD subtracting and very low signal that is corrupt. Do the job right and use a small mixer to combine the L and R of the IPOD.

I would like to know how to properly connect my roland kc350 to my yamaha p90 for execellent stereo sound. seems like the sound is not quite perfect when i plug into left/right inputs on amp from...

Correct connections to connect your keyboard to your roland amp, and then the amp to the PA would be:

Two mono 1/4" jack (regular guitar leads) leads to connect the sockets labeld L and R on your P90 into channel 2 L and R on your amp. (channel 2 is better as you cannot overload it like you could on channel one, which has enough gain for microphone)

Then, using either the jack or XLR (XLR would be better if your PA mixer can accept them) sockets on your amp labeled LINE OUT, hook up your roland amp to your PA. Make sure to use the correct line outs on the top panel, NOT the stereo link or Sub outs on the back.

I am hooking the system to a yamaha stereo receiver and i need to know what jacks to hook it to out or in 3 wire or just 2 because of no video just audio red white yellow the stereo reciever just has ...

Let me write some basic things about audio and video signals and cables. Stereo audio has two channels, left and right, usually red and white (or black) jacks. You plug in audio cables. Video signals in old receivers are marked in yellow. If your receiver does not have video (yellow) input, usually located above the two audio inputs, you will not be able to watch any video signal through the receiver. The receiver will only play the sound of dvd, since its left and right audio channels are properly connected. Just aux and phono inputs are not enough. Hope this may help.

I don't know why the comment from Yamaha about Tape Monitor killing digital inputs is relevant.

According to the manal I downloaded, THIS stereo receiver doesn't have digital inputs.

As to using 901's and 301's...

You will need a separate Power Amp for either the 901's or the 301's. Sorry, but you can't share the amp with the Active-Equalized signal and non-901's.

I use 901's and 301's in MY 7.1 rig with a separate amp for the 901 and NOT using a Tape Monitor, but a preamp out feed for the front channels.

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.
