What’s the problem with my Yamaha sound bar?

Turning to the internet, there was absolutely no support or information on this problem for this Yamaha HTY-750 soundbar model. But I did find a repair manual online and opened the unit up to see if there was anything obvious like a blown internal fuse. Seriously, these things are built like tanks.

How much did it cost to buy a Yamaha sound bar?

Eventually I found a used YSP-900 on eBay which came with a Yamaha subwoofer. It cost £189, which was a lot of money, but a lot less than you’d pay for a new one, especially as it came with the seperate sub. I bought and paid for the YSP-900 and fetched it from the seller.

What kind of speakers do Yamaha soundbars have?

How can I connect my sound bar to my TV?

You can connect wirelessly with Bluetooth, or use a 3.5 mm AUX cable, RCA cables, or even an auxiliary device that converts coaxial cable to another kind of connection. Sometimes it may take a little creativity, but there is almost always a way to connect your TV to your soundbar without HDMI or optical.
