Yamaha HTR-6030 Receiver Logo
Chris Hughes Posted on May 08, 2011

I've had my HTR-6030 for about 3 years now and I've never had a problem. However, yesterday we had a pretty bad lightning storm and had a brief surge but nothing in the house turned off and everything was fine. Today my wife tried to watch TV and the unit powers off after a couple of minutes. The shutoff time varies according to how long you leave the unit off. It's almost as if it's protecting itself from overheating but it's completely cool. I tried unplugging it for a while but that didn't work. The wires are fine.

    We have had a similar problem for over a year with a Yamaha RX-V1800 AV Receiver. It shuts off (goes into standby mode) sporadically. If we leave the unit powered on continuously, it only occasionally (once a day or so) shuts down. We can power it back on immediately; and it will sometimes continue to run or other times power off after a few minutes again. We find that when we turn on the unit after it has been powered off a few hours (completely cooled down), the unit is more likely to power itself off after a few minutes. We then go through several cycles of turning it back on and it shutting itself off a few minutes later until it seems to warm up sufficiently. To me, this sounds like a loose connection or cracked solder joint in the power supply unit in the thermal protection circuitry. Does anyone have any other likely problems? Anyone know what it costs to replace the power supply unit? We have dusted the air vents and added wood pads to the feet to allow better ventilation, but this did not seem to help much if at all.

Hi, You should have unplugged your set in a storm like that. You should have had a surge protector too. I believe you will be looking at a big repair bill. Good luck.

No sound from my htr-6030 when i hook it up to my dvd player with

If you can't use one of the Optical Digital Audio INPUTs on the HTR-6030, why don't you just use the Analog Audio Out on the HDD and an Analog Audio IN on the HTR-6030? It has one actually marked 'DVR', but any one would do.

No component video output

Hope this helps

The Yamaha HTR-6030 offers two types of video monitor output: Component and Composite. You may need to connect both types to your television as the HTR-6030 does not have composite to component video conversion. In other words, to view your VCR on your TV, you need to use the composite video monitor connection. However, for a DVD player or other source that has component video connections, use the component video monitor output to your TV. If your TV has both types, you simply switch between the two with your TV remote to access the proper video monitor output signal from the HTR-6030.
