NS-P420 Quick-Connect Guide
1
Introduction
Yamaha developed the NS-P420 Home Theater Speaker
package to turn your home into a theater. In addition to
enhancing the sound of a video source, like your VCR,
DVD player, or TV, the NS-P420 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 system plan (Figure 1 below), and then use
either wiring diagram (Figure 2 or 3 on page 2 or 3) to
connect the NS-P420 speakers to your A/V receiver. To
properly attain the
home theater
experience, it should be
equipped with Dolby
®
Digital, Dolby
®
Pro Logic, DTS,
or comparable multi-channel surround-sound capabil-
ity. For the video portion, you will need a DVD (or LD)
player or a hi-fi stereo VCR and a television or monitor.
Refer to the owner’s manuals that came with your other
components for complete instructions and cautions. Be
sure to turn off all power when connecting the speakers.
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 an NS-A426 on a TV)
• Toggle bolts, molly anchor screws, or sheet metal
screws (for securing NS-A426 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 hanger for your particular wall's construction. Secure
installation is the purchaser's responsibility.
