 # Example configuration.yaml entry
 media_player:
   platform: yamaha
+  host: 192.168.1.100
   name: 'Basement Receiver'
 ```
 Configuration variables:
 
 - **name** (*Optional*): Name of the device
+- **host** (*Optional*): IP address or hostname of the device
 
 A few notes:
 
-- This will automatically search your network for Yamaha receivers.  It will add a media player device for each one.
+- Not specifying the host variable will result in automatically searching your network for Yamaha Receivers.  It will add a media player device for each one.
+- In some cases, autodiscovery fails due to a known bug in the receiver's firmware. It is possible to manually specify the reveiver's IP address or via it's hostname (if it is discoverably by your DNS) then.
+- Please note: If adding the IP address or hostname manually, you **must** enable network standby on your receiver, or else startup of Home Assistant will hang if you have your receiver switched off.
 - Currently the only controls that are available is Power On/Off, Mute, and Volume control. Other functions such as source select are in progress of being developed.
