Introduction
Yamaha developed the YHT-10 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-10 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
the wiring diagram (Figure 2 on opposite page) to
connect the speakers to the R-V502 A/V receiver.
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-V502 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.
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-AC2 on TV)
• Toggle bolts, molly anchor screws, or sheet metal
screws (for securing NS-A76 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.

Consumer Precautions
Read these precautions carefully before operating your
YHT-10 home theater system:
• Since the NS-A76 speakers can be wall mounted, it
is essential that they are firmly secured. Be sure to
consult a reliable source about the best type of
hanger for your particular wall’s construction.
Secure installation is the purchaser’s responsibility.
• Do not attach the NS-A76 speakers to thin plywood
or soft wall surface materials as the screws may tear
free, causing the speakers to fall and be damaged, or
resulting in personal injury.
• Do not fasten the NS-A76 speakers to walls with
nails, adhesives, or other unsafe hardware. Long-
term use and vibrations may cause them to pull free.
• Do not place any speakers where they are liable to be
knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound performance.
• The NS-A636 and NS-AC2 speakers feature a
magnetically-shielded design, but there is still a
chance that placing them too close to a TV might
impair picture color. Should this happen, move the
speakers away from the TV.
• Placing speakers on the same stand or shelf as a
turntable can result in feedback.
• Never touch the woofer or tweeter units with your
hand or expose them to excessive physical shock. If
they are dented or bent, the sound will be distorted.
• Lower the R-V502 receiver volume control before
changing input sources. Never change input sources
(for example, FM to CD) at high listening levels.
Always turn the R-V502 receiver unit off when
installing or removing input cables.
• Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control
on the R-V502 receiver to a lower setting. Never allow
your power amplifier to be driven into “clipping.”
• Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical
solvents, as this might damage the finish. To clean,
wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
• To prevent the enclosure from warping or discolor-
ing, do not place the speakers where they will be
exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
