Connecting your devices to the YAMAHA RX-V481 5.1 Channel Network A/V Receiver is a straightforward process. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Make sure all your devices (TV, Blu-ray player, gaming console) are turned off and unplugged from the power source.

2. Locate the HDMI ports on the back of the receiver. The YAMAHA RX-V481 has multiple HDMI inputs labeled as HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.

3. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output port on your Blu-ray player. Then, connect the other end to any available HDMI input port on the receiver. Remember the HDMI input port number you used.

4. Repeat step 3 for your gaming console and any other devices you want to connect, using different HDMI input ports on the receiver for each device.

5. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI output port on the receiver to an HDMI input port on your TV. This will allow the video and audio signals to pass through the receiver to your TV.

6. Once all the HDMI connections are made, plug in and turn on all your devices.

7. On your TV, select the HDMI input that corresponds to the HDMI port you connected the receiver to. This will display the receiver's on-screen menu.

8. Using the remote control or front panel buttons of the receiver, navigate to the "Setup" or "Settings" menu.

9. Within the setup menu, locate the "HDMI" or "Input Assign" option. Here, you can assign the correct input source to each HDMI input port you connected your devices to. For example, you can assign the Blu-ray player to HDMI 1, gaming console to HDMI 2, etc.

10. Save the settings and exit the setup menu.

Now, your devices are successfully connected to the YAMAHA RX-V481 5.1 Channel Network A/V Receiver. You can enjoy audio and video playback through the receiver by selecting the appropriate HDMI input on the receiver or using the receiver's remote control.
