QUICK-CONNECTGUIDE

QYAMAHA" YHT-5OO QUICK'CONNECTGUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Yamaha developed the YHT-500 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-500 also superbly reproduces

audio sources, such as a CD player or a cassette deck.

For the video portion, you will need a television or monitor.

Refer to the Yamaha HTR-5540 Ownerfs Manual, as well as

those that came with your other components, for comp-

lete instructions and cautions. Be sure to turn off all

power while making connections.

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.

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 30feet, use larger 18- or 16-gauge speaker wire.
