YHT-33 QUICK-CONNECT GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Yamaha developed the YHT-33 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-33 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 television or

monitor. Refer to the Yamaha HTR-5240 Owner’s Manual,

as well as those that came with your other components,

for complete instructions 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.

• Wire strippers (optional)

• 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.

PROGRAMMING THE UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL

SETTING UPCOMPONENTS

Perform the procedure for each component you own.

At the end of each step 5, the remote control’s processor

will automatically assign the selected component’s

control functions to its own buttons, ready for your use.

SETTING UPYOUR TV

1. Turn on the television set and look up a setup code

for your brand of television (codes are located at the

back of the HTR-5240 Owner’s Manual).

2. On the remote control, press TV.

3. Press and hold both VOLUME buttons at least four

seconds until the indicator LED flashes twice.

4. Using the keypad, enter the four-digit setup code.

The indicator LED will flash twice after your entry.

If the LED did not flash twice, repeat steps 3 and 4.

5. To verify the code works, aim the remote control at

the television set, press TV, and then press POWER.

The television set should turn off. If it doesn’t

respond, use another code for the same manufac-

turer and repeat steps 3 through 5.

The YHT-33 Home Theater package includes a univer-

sal remote control. It comes pre-programmed with

factory codes to control your HTR-5240 receiver and

most Yamaha audio components. To program other

brands of components (i.e., TV, VCR, etc.) or if your

Yamaha unit does not respond, you will need to

program the remote control with the manufacturer’s

codes (listed on the back pages of the HTR-5240

Owner’s Manual).

NOTE: The universal remote control is designed to control

most major brands of audio and video components. For other

units, use the original remote control supplied with the product.

POWER ON

1. Load the supplied batteries into the remote control.

2. Aim the remote control at the receiver, press AMP/

TUNER, and then press POWER.
