So I didn't realize there was a tiny written warning on the speaker impedance switch on the back that said moving the switch with the power on "may damage the unit". I actually switched it multiple times, listening for any possible audible changes. It wasn't until later I saw the tiny warning. I haven't noticed any issues though. Can someone please look at the schematic and tell me what damage I may have caused? Thanks!!

Re: Switched speaker impedance selector w/ Yamaha HTR-5740 RX-V450 powered on!! Probl
If the amp is still working, you are ok, just don't switch it when the amp is on because you could damage the output transistors and maybe more.
in this case you got lucky. The service manual is too blurry (low res.) to read. I don't know why people do this to service manuals.Last edited by R_J; 01-25-2021, 10:46 AM. -
Re: Switched speaker impedance selector w/ Yamaha HTR-5740 RX-V450 powered on!! Probl
Gotta say tho...hey, Yamaha...why not make the switch recessed like the voltage selectors often are? A switch projecting out could get bumped while moving or cleaning the unit. At least then you would have to be looking at the back of the unit to change it and are likely to see a BIG warning! HahaLast edited by JimBanville; 01-25-2021, 11:00 AM.Comment

Re: Switched speaker impedance selector w/ Yamaha HTR-5740 RX-V450 powered on!! Probl
You might be able to see a bit more in a non-mangled version of the service manual:
There's a slide switch on the bottom-right of page 47 (containing the power amps), that goes to a signal called "8/4" going to the microcontroller, and a "/4ohm" signal coming back to the power board. That seems to drive some opto-controlled triacs(?).
I've got a hunch those just alter the amplitude of the supply rails (lower voltage for the lower impedances, higher voltage for the higher impedances), so as to keep the required current about the same.
I doubt flicking that switch would do much (or anything) if you weren't passing any signal through to the speakers.Khron's Cave - Electronics - Audio - Teardowns - Mods - Repairs - Projects - Music - Rants - ShenanigansComment

Re: Switched speaker impedance selector w/ Yamaha HTR-5740 RX-V450 powered on!! Probl
In this model, the switch tells the microprocessor input to change between 4/8 Ω which changes the voltage supplied to the output transistors via the circuit on page 82 (pdf 47) so switching the 4/8 switch will change the output supply voltage from around +/- 55vdc to +/- 80vdcComment

Keep switching it and let us know what blows up!Last edited by R_J; 01-25-2021, 01:01 PM.Comment

Re: Switched speaker impedance selector w/ Yamaha HTR-5740 RX-V450 powered on!! Probl
Normally the impedance switch is right on the outputs and switches the actual output. but not in this case, it just increases the voltage to supply more current with the lower impedance speakers. Changing the switch in this case could damage the scr's SR121 especially if the unit was operating at a high volume.
Keep switching it and let us know what blows up!
Lol. I assume you are joking about continuing to flip the switch when powered on. Why would I? I was simply curious "what" I could have potentially harmed and "why". I was also slightly hoping a knowledgeable person might look at the schematic and see no issues to the point of even "questioning" the warning in the first place. Haha. I had read about those switches in the past, but this was my first receiver with one. Nothing I ever read about them ever warned about adjusting them when powered on. Fortunately I picked this yamaha up for $6 at a goodwill type store last week, so it wouldn't have been a total disaster had I damaged somethingComment

by MobileXTHello Everyone! I have a Yamaha powered speaker DXR15. The problem was the RED LED Fault indicator is steady on when I power the speaker. I did open the module and I don't see any burnt component. I Downloaded the Schematic but I don't know where to start the diagnostic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also attached the schematic here...

by sukahtHello everyone.
I need help with my Yamaha MSR400 - Powered PA Speaker that I bought it used recently.
It is power on, and sounding good / working perfectly fine. However after 3 - 5 minutes, the heatsink is starting to get warm, and it smells burning a little bit.
I did tried multiple times on different day, event the speaker is not playing any song (input does not connect to any source, and the volume level is zero), after it turns ON, 5 minutes later, the heatsink is starting to get warm, and it smells burning a little bit. I am afraid keeping it ON longer than 5 minutes...-

by Phlox321Hi All
I have a yamaha emx 2000 powered mixer im trying to repeair.
the problem is that theres no sound output on the right channel. Left channel works fine.
Right channel has output when using the phono(headphone output) but not when going through the amplifier
the left peak meters work but not the right
the clipping light however does come on when gain is turned up same as left channel
What i have done so far is make sure that the supply voltages are fine, which they are
I found several cracked solder joints on the amplifier board which...-

Help Needed: Yamaha RX-V485 Network Issue After Firmware Update (WN9711 Error)
Hi everyone,
I'm facing an issue with my Yamaha RX-V485 receiver. During a firmware update, the process failed, and now the USB, Bluetooth, and network functionalities are not working. Occasionally, the receiver displays the error code WN9711.
I came across Yamaha Technical Bulletin No. 0103, which describes a similar issue for models like the RX-V4A, RX-V6A, and RX-A2A. According to the bulletin, the issue can be resolved by shorting soldering points (e.g., J260 for RX-V4A or...-

by jjneI have an old Yamaha RX V675 receiver which is starting to develop issues with the sound, although it doesn't quite match up with what folk normally report with these.
From cold, the sound cuts in and out. When this happens the amp is losing sync with the optical input (speaker graphic disappears from the front panel). But this is not resolved by putting the unit into pure direct mode. After a couple of minutes this resolves, although there are occasional clicks from the speakers after that.
At first I thought it was either a speaker relay or the DSP, but I don't think...-
