INTRODUCTION
Yamaha developed the YHT-700 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-700 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, DVD player and speakers to your
system.
For the video portion, you will need a television or
monitor. Refer to the Yamaha HTR-5550 Ownerís 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-AC480 on a TV)
Brackets, toggle bolts, molly anchor screws, or sheet
metal screws (for securing NS-A480 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 UP COMPONENTS
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 UP YOUR 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-5550 Owner's Manual).
2. On the remote control, press button B.
3. Press CODE SET using a ballpoint pen or similar
object. The TRANSMIT indicator LED will flash
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 the TV POWER button.
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.

sal remote control. It comes pre-programmed with
factory codes to control your HTR-5550 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-5550
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.
NOTE: If you wait more than 30 seconds during step 4, the
process will be canceled. If this happens, start from Step 2.
