This fixed my issue! My Yamaha RXV-673 (many years old at this point) started flashing Decoder Off and PCM. When it said Decoder Off it would lose sound. REALLY annoying. Cable plug/replug worked sometimes but this fixed the issue completely. I had to reprogram the HDMI outlet to make it work with ARC but after I did that, everything’s been working as it should. 🤞🏼Thanks for the help!!

Thank you so much. I own the old Onkyo TxNR 805 and I have been very happy with it. Recently, I picked up the Yamaha RX-V385BL for my bedroom system and I was very unhappy with the thinness and the enamic sound of it. Also the " decoder off" with no sound. I followed your instruction and the issue with the Decoder Off with no sound was solved. One thing though, with the RX-V385BL, there is no round button for the " program" but a right and left straight line push in . I had to circle the straight line " program" button toward the end of the cycles to get to the " Cancel- All". Also, I also learned from another youtuber how to make the sound of the RX-V385BL more lively and dynamic by holding the " option" button to activate the " Adaptive DCR " and the " Enhancer" in the drop down menu, the difference is like day and night. The RX-V385BL now is lively and dynamic that drives my Klipsch RP-600 to it full potential. Thank you.

Press the “Info” button on the remote. It changes what’s displayed on the unit’s screen. The display was my only issue though. No audio problems. My receiver (RX-V375) toggles between Audio Decoder/Input/DSP Program.

Thank you Sir,That PCM was driving me crazy.

Works ! Thanks a lot, I've been searching for this for years!

Hopefully I'll never have to do this but I saved this segment in case. I have the Yamaha V671 AV receiver since new back in 2012 and till this day has been performing flawless..

Thanks. That's exactly what I have been looking for.

This got mine to stop blinking those messages thank you very much. My friend now is I’m just kidding those sound out of it still

Thank you so much for advice helped perfectly

ive had an issue where it says this when playing 7.1 content through pc to reciever but it works now

Hey, thanks for the video. Unknowingly, I have disable the surround i.e. 5.1 surround. Can you help how to enable back on the receiver? Ex: With 5 stereo program all speakers works, with other DSP only front speakers are working, no sound from Center and rear speakers. Not sure what I did change…..

How to reset my Yamaha remote to my Yamaha audio-video receiver if some of the buttons have stopped giving commands to the receiver. Right now most things work on the remote except volume up and down

Yamaha av receiver model no htr 3072 led not working

Thanks!

Help iv did this and now i have no sound at all 😢

When we do not start any like Radio , TV or Bluetooth than show Decorder off is ok

I have a Yamaha RX V683 and encounter the same issue decoder off. And I did the same but no luck. Please help me

What does PCM mean? or what does it do? Thanks

Yamaha RX-a2 was working fine. Then I stupidly turned off ARC (some brainiac said you had to in order to access eARC). When I did that, it went into Decoder Off mode, and I can no longer get into settings. The button on the remote doesn't do anything. I can't factory reset because there is no longer a straight button on the front panel, and the manual gives you absolutely NO info on how to reset. What a piece of shit. Bringing it back today.

Hi I have Yamaha HTR-3072 Sony TV KDL43W800D On my Yamaha avr why it is showing PCM ? When i click straight(Raw content) on remote. It should show DD/DTS Even if i am playing 5.1 DD DTS etc. content on TV. Connected ARC from avr to TV Setting on TV set to Digital Out (DD/DTS)
