INTRODUCTION
Yamaha developed the YHT-17 A/V Home Theater
package to turn your home into a theater. In addition to
enhancing the sound of a video source, like your TV,
DVD, or VCR, the YHT-17 also superbly reproduces
audio sources, such as a CD player or a cassette deck.
This Quick-Connect Guide will help you get started.
Study the speaker system plan (below), and then use
the interconnect diagrams (on the following pages) to
connect the receiver and speakers to your system.
For the video portion, you will need a DVD player or
hi-fi stereo VCR and a television or monitor. Refer to the
Yamaha HTR-5230 Owner’s Manual, as well as those that
came with your other components, for complete instruc-
tions and cautions. Be sure to turn off all power while
making connections.
Save this Quick-Connect Guide for future reference.
NOTE: Label the end of each speaker wire (i.e., left rear, right
front, etc.) before connecting them to the A/V receiver. For wire
runs over 30 feet, use larger 18- or 16-gauge speaker wire.
• Velcro (for secure fastening of NS-AC16 on TV)
• Brackets, toggle bolts, molly anchor screws, or sheet
metal screws (for securing NS-A16 speakers to walls)
NOTE: If you are unsure of how to securely and safely fasten
speakers to a wall, please contact a reliable source about the best
type of hardware for your particular wall's construction.
Secure installation is the purchaser's responsibility.

CONNECTING A 5.1-CHANNEL DECODER
If you own a 5.1-channel decoder (or a unit which
incorporates a 5.1-channel decoder), you can connect
its discrete outputs to the HTR-5230 as shown below.
• To hear playback of a stereo or mono audio source
or one encoded with Dolby Pro Logic Surround*,
connect the unit (e.g., DVD player) to the DVD/LD
(or SAT/D-TV) AUDIO SIGNAL input terminals.
• The discrete signals feeding to the HTR-5230 cannot
be recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder, or VCR.
To record programs from a source (e.g., laserdisc
player), connect the source unit to the DVD/LD (or
SAT/D-TV) AUDIO SIGNAL input terminals.
