Troubleshooting

Refer to the table below when the sound bar does not function properly. If the problem

the sound bar, disconnect the power cable, and contact the nearest authorized Yamaha 
dealer or service center.
First, check the following:

A

The power cables of the sound bar, subwoofer, TV and playback devices (such 
as BD players) are connected to AC wall outlets securely.

B

The sound bar, TV and playback devices (such as BD players) are turned on.

C

The connectors of each cable are securely inserted in to jacks on each device.

Problem

Cause

Remedy

The power turns 
off suddenly.

The auto power standby function 
worked.
When the auto power standby 
function is enabled and one of the 
following conditions is met, the 
sound bar will automatically turn 
off.
- No operation for 8 hours
- No audio input and no 

operations for 20 minutes when 
BLUETOOTH is selected as the 
input source.

Turn on the sound bar again. To stop 
the sound bar from turning off 
automatically, disable the auto power 
standby function (p.14).

The protection circuitry has been 
activated. (The STATUS indicator 
on the front panel of the sound 
bar flashes.)

After confirming that all connections 
are made properly, turn on the sound 
bar again. If the power still turns off 
suddenly or cannot be turned on, 
unplug the power cable from the AC 
wall outlet and contact the nearest 
authorized Yamaha dealer or service 
center.

Bluetooth

 connection is 

terminated on a 

Bluetooth

 device 

when the 

Bluetooth

 standby mode 

is enabled.

Disable the 

Bluetooth

 standby mode 

(p.11).

The power 
cannot be turned 
on.

The protection circuitry has been 
activated three times 
consecutively. (If you try to turn on 
the power in this condition, the 
STATUS indicator on the front 
panel of the sound bar flashes.)

To protect the product, the power 
cannot be turned on. Unplug the 
power cable from the AC wall outlet 
and contact the nearest authorized 
Yamaha dealer or service center.

The sound bar is 
not responding 
correctly.

The internal microcomputer is 
frozen, due to an external electric 
shock (such as lightning or 
excessive static electricity) or to a 
drop in the power supply voltage.

Hold down 

 (power) on the front 

panel of the sound bar for more than 
10 seconds to reboot it. (If the problem 
persists, disconnect the power cable 
from the AC wall outlet and plug it 
again.)

The sound bar 
operates by 
itself.

Another 

Bluetooth

 device is being 

operated nearby.

Terminate 

Bluetooth

 connection of the 

sound bar (p.11).

TV’s 3D glasses 
do not work.

The sound bar is blocking the 3D 
glasses transmitter of your TV.

Check the position of the 3D glasses 
transmitter of your TV and adjust the 
position of the sound bar. Remove the 
stands of the sound bar if they are 
attached (p.5).

connected properly.

Make sure that power cables of the 
sound bar and subwoofer are 
connected to AC wall outlets securely 
(p.6).
