The Yamaha YHT-494 Home Theater Package includes everything you need to add great sound to your home theater. By following
the instructions in this manual, you’ll have your home theater set up in no time and be enjoying music and movies like never before.
See also the AV Receiver’s owner’s manual for full instructions and precautions for AV Receiver.
Make sure the package contains the following items.
Note
• Only the items required to complete the instalation explained in this manual are shown here.
Before you connect the speakers, place each speaker in its respective location.
Speaker positioning is very important as it affects the overall sound quality of the
system. Place the speakers in locations that will optimize the sound quality at
your listening position. Refer to the illustration.
The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as the position of the other
speakers because sub-bass sounds are not very directional.
Notes
• Placing the speakers too close to a CRT-type TV may impair the picture color
or cause a buzzing noise. In this case, move the speakers at least 20 cm (8")
away from the TV. This is not an issue with LCD and plasma TVs.
• See page 7 for information on wall-mounting the speakers.
