Yamaha RX-V595a receiver shuts off 2 seconds after its powered on

We just purchased a Yamaha RX-V595a receiver . Even without the speakers hooked up , we plugged the receiver to the outlet and when we hit the power button ,it will stay on for 1-2 seconds and then shuts off. Again this just a receiver with no speakers hooked up to it yet. Cant find the solution in the owners manual. Any help out there ? when it is on for a what seems 2 seconds the panel lights up and reads TUNER. It gives me no time what so ever to test anything because it turns off abruptly-

The first thing called out is the impedance switch on the back is not fully in one or the other position. Cycle the switch back and forth to make sure it will 'read' each setting, then turn it on.

Also make sure you if you have anything connected to its convenience outlets that they are not drawing more current than is allowed.

Did you buy it used or new?

My yamaha rxv595a keeps on shutting itself off when im watching movies as soon that it gets loud it shuts off but its not even that loud how do i fix this problem i tried the ohms switch in the back and it...
That is a safety switch in most receivers. When something gets too loud it cannot give the load off to the speakers and shuts off to protect itself. This can mean that the receivers getting old, or that you might need to split the job. You might need an stereo amplifier to split the job. Check the cables and speakers. Recievers can only give so much to so many speakers at so much sound. That is what the whatts are for. The more whatts the better, the lesser whatts, the lesser speakers its going to be able to handle at high volumes.

Yamaha receiver shuts off automatically after two seconds. Changing Inpedence switch has no impact.
Does disconnecting all the speakers make a difference? If so, troubleshoot the short out to a speaker.

If not, it's due for a trip to the ER.

Yamaha rx-v456 av receiver, shut down with optica cable
Does it work without PS3 attached?
When receiver turns off, it is usually due to badly connected/configured speakers. Try powering on the receiver without speakers.

Yamaha RX-V595A tuns off automatically
This was happening to mine also, all of a sudden. This solution came from the owners manual. Sure enough, the impedance selector was stuck in the middle , between 4 and 8 ohms....I also, made sure the speaker wires were not touching each other at the splice. Problem fixed.
B




The unit fails to turn on when 
STANDBY/ON is pressed, or set in 
the standby mode suddenly soon 
after the power has been turned on. 
The power cord is not plugged in or the 
plug is not completely inserted. 
The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch 
on the rear panel is not fully set to the 
upper or lower end. 
Firmly plug in the power cord. 
Set the switch fully to the upper or 
lower end when the unit is in the 
standby mode.
