Yamaha RX-V4A switches to Protect Mode with ULTIMA 20 Surround

If your Yamaha RX-V4A switches to Protect Mode when used with the ULTIMA 20 Surround, check the following settings and the placement of the receiver:

• Set all speakers in the receiver menu to “Small.”
• Set the crossover frequency to at least 80 Hz.
• Avoid the combination of “Large” speakers and the activated “Extra Bass” function.
• Do not expose the receiver to direct sunlight.
• Ensure adequate ventilation. The ventilation openings must not be blocked, and there should be enough free space around the device.

Receiver is already in Protect Mode?

1. Turn off the receiver.
2. Disconnect all connected cables and speakers from the device.
3. Wait at least 30 minutes.
4. Then reconnect everything and restart the receiver.

Usually, the RX-V4A should then turn on normally again.
