This one has already been fixed. His speaker wires were the problem, it
seems.

I cant offer the solution that you are looking for but...
I also have the RX-V595 but I never received the correct remote. I got
one that is very very close, but stupid things like DSP button labels are
off by 1 space... anyway, I'd either sell you mine & upgrade myself or
buy your remote if you find yours is not able to be repaired. Either
way, I'd be happy.

I bought a Yamaha RX-V595 receiver back in Nov 1998.

Recently I had to move it around a little when I bought a new media
center cabinet for my living room and needed to reinstall all my
components.

I get all the connections back to what they were and everything works
fine except.... whenever I select the optical digital stream for say,
my DVD player or digital cable box, the receiver shuts off by itself
right as I switch the input source.

However, whenever I select another type of digital signal process
effect, like "rock concert" or "concert hall" I can use the DVD player
or digital cable box fine.

From this I assume that the Dolby Digital decoder inside the receiver
has gone bad. I checked the speaker setting on the back as well, and
it's set properly for my speakers.

Is there anything else I can do besides look for a repair shop or sell
it on Ebay? I hate to sell it since a lot of the newer digital
receivers don't have phono inputs and I don't like the idea of having
to buy a separate phono amp....

TIA.
