NTRODUCTION

Yamaha developed the YHT-31 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
or VCR, the YHT-31 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 hi-fi stereo VCR or
laser disc player and a television or monitor. Refer to the

Yamaha R-V703 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-AC142 on TV)

• Toggle bolts, molly anchor screws, or sheet metal

screws (for securing NS-E60 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.
