How to Connect a YSP Sound Projector to a Yamaha AV Receiver
Yamaha Sound Projectors (YSPs) produce multi-channel Surround Sound for home theater from a single audio component. All YSP models are equipped with several types of audio/video jacks for connecting components, including a Yamaha AV receiver to power the systems and manage other home theater equipment attached to the system. Newer Yamaha AV receivers will have a High Definition Media Interface (HDMI) jack for connecting to the sound projector. Older receivers can use component AV cables. The cables are available at electronics and audio stores.

Tips & Warnings
Yamaha Sound Projectors are equipped with both HDMI and component jacks. HDMI can deliver eight channels of digital audio and high-definition video, for superior picture and sound. Although the cables cost more, the quality of the AV output and simple connection make HDMI the better choice when HDMI ports are available on a receiver.
Unplug the components from the electricity while connecting AV cables.
