Sub woover has stopped working. FM receiver and sound bar still sounds good. Any thoughts of what part has failed and how I can test the part appreciated. Nearest service shop is 100 miles away and wants $50.00 to check it. If I can't fix it myself I'll do without the Sub. Ideas appreciated.

The service manual is available at http://elektrotanya.com/yamaha_ns-b380_ns-br300_ns-p705_sr-300.pdf/download.html

Here's the subwoofer output circuitry. Click the image to enlarge it.

It's based around IC303, a TAS5342LDDV (data sheet at http://www.ti.com/general/docs/lit/getliterature.tsp?genericPartNumber=tas5342&fileType=pdf) which is available from Digi-Key for about USD 8 (if it turns out to be faulty) - see http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/TAS5342LDDV/296-34186-5-ND/1905184

You should start by checking that the 12V and 26V supply rails are present, then check the DC levels at the output pins. There's a fair chance that replacing the IC will fix the problem, but it's an SMT device and replacing it is not for the inexperienced!

Thanks for your reply KrisBlueNZ.
Looks too complicated for me to fix. Guess I'll do without the sub until the system has more problems then replace it.

KrisBlue,

I will risk 8$ to try this part. Do you know if the part plugs in or has to be soldered in? I have a little experience in electronic repair.

It has to be soldered in, and it's an SMT (surface mount technology) device with pretty closely spaced pins. Google SMT desoldering and SMT soldering to get some guidelines on how to remove the old one, and how to reinstall the new one. I suggest you practice on some broken piece of modern equipment that has SMT parts in it. It's easy to damage the circuit board.

Check speaker with one lead disconnected. Should read 4, 8, or 16 ohms if good. Also check all voltages at IC 303 and touch surface of IC with unit powered up to see if it is cold or hot. Cold would mean an open and hot above 150f would indicate a possible short. Replacing IC303 would require someone with experience at smt replacement. NOT for the faint of heart! Ed.
