▪ Do not operate the unit, turn it to standby or disconnect the power cable or network cable during a

firmware update.

▪ A firmware update takes about 10 minutes or more (depending on your network connection speed).

▪ If the Internet connection speed is slow, or the unit is connected to the wireless network, a firmware

update may not be possible depending on the condition of the wireless connection. In this case, try

updating again after a while or update the firmware using a USB memory device (

p.37).

▪ After a firmware update, check the version of firmware currently installed on the unit using the MusicCast

CONTROLLER.

▪ For details on firmware updates, visit the Yamaha website.

has been turned on.

The inner power supply circuit is malfunctioning.

Contact your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center to request

repair.

The unit is not reacting.

The internal microcomputer is frozen, due to an external electric shock

(such as lightning or excessive static electricity).

Hold down the z (power) key on the front panel for at least 15 seconds to restart

the unit. If the problem persists, disconnect the power cable from the AC wall

outlet and plug it again.

The remote control IDs of the unit and the remote control are not

identical.

Change the remote control ID of the unit or the remote control (p.31, p.34).

No sound.

Incorrect input or output cable connections. Connect the cable properly.

Another input source is selected. Select an appropriate input source with the input selection keys.

The volume is at the minimum or muted. Turn up the volume.

The output of the device that is connected to the unit's digital optical

input is set to an audio format other than PCM.

The optical input of the unit supports only PCM signals. Change the audio output

setting on the playback device (such as a TV) to PCM.

Noise or humming is heard coming from the unit

or devices surrounding it.

The unit is too close to another digital or radio frequency device. Move the unit further away from the device.

Network

Problem Cause Remedy

Cannot configure connection settings on

MusicCast CONTROLLER.

The mobile device is not connected to the wireless router at your

home.

Connect the mobile device to the wireless router and start MusicCast

CONTROLLER.

Disable the cellular data transmission of your mobile device.

It takes time for the application to detect the unit.

Wait a moment while making sure that your mobile device does not go into sleep

mode.

The wireless switch on the rear panel is turned off.

Connect the unit to a router (access point) with a network cable or set the

wireless switch properly.

The unit is set to standby mode. Turn on the unit.

Access to the network is restricted by the firewall settings of the

wireless router (access point).

Check the firewall setting and the MAC address filter of the wireless router

(access point).

Microwave ovens or other wireless devices in your neighborhood

might disturb the wireless communication.

Move the unit away from those devices.

MusicCast CONTROLLER does not detect the unit

or the server (PC or DLNA-compatible NAS).

The media sharing setting is not correct.

Configure the sharing setting and select the unit as a device to which music

contents are shared.

Some security software installed on your DLNA server is blocking the

access of the unit to your DLNA server.

Check the settings of security software installed on your DLNA server.

The unit, DLNA server and mobile device are not in the same network.

Check the network connections and your router settings, and then connect the

unit, DLNA server and mobile device to the same network.

Multiple routers are connected between your network devices (double

router).

Connect the network device you wish to use to the same router.

The network feature does not function.

The network parameters (IP address) have not been obtained

properly.

Enable the DHCP server function on your router. And also the DHCP function on

the unit must be set to “On” (default: On).

Access to the network is restricted by the firewall settings of the

wireless router (access point).

Check the firewall setting of the wireless router (access point) or the MAC

address filter setting.

The mobile device is connected to Secondary SSID when using a

multiple SSID router.

In this case, access to the devices connected to the Primary SSID or wired

network might be restricted by the router (only Internet access is available).

Connect your mobile device to the Primary SSID.

Playback stops unexpectedly and files cannot be

played continuously.

The folder contains some files that cannot be played via the unit.

Delete or remove files (including video or hidden files) that cannot be played via

the unit from the folder.

played only when it passes through the port designated by each radio station.

Firmware update via the network failed. The network connection is unstable. Try updating again after a while.

The unit cannot connect to the Internet via a

wireless router (access point).

The wireless router (access point) is turned off. Turn on the wireless router (access point).

Problem Cause Remedy

The unit cannot connect to the Internet via a

wireless router (access point).

Glossary

This is a glossary of the technical terms used in this

manual.

Compressed Music Enhancer

The Compressed Music Enhancer feature compensates for

missing harmonics in compression music formats (such as

MP3). As a result, this technology provides improved

performance for the overall sound system.

High Resolution

High Resolution signifies high quality audio devices and

content (such as 192 kHz/24 bit FLAC). The Consumer

Electronics Association (CEA) defines High-Resolution Audio

(Hi-Res Audio or HRA) as, “lossless audio that is capable of

reproducing the full range of sound from recordings that have

been mastered from better than CD quality music sources.”

SSID

SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a

particular wireless LAN access point.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a technology that allows an

electronic device to exchange data or connect to the Internet

wirelessly using radio waves. Wi-Fi offers the advantage of

eliminating the complexity of making connections with LAN

cables by using wireless connection. Only products that

complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability tests can carry the “Wi-

Fi Certified” trademark.

WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard established by the

Wi-Fi Alliance, which allows easy establishment of a wireless

home network.
