Squealing Belts (Belt Replacement?)

Okay, so last week I got my 2002 Honda Civic LX Coupe. And every time I start it up, the belts squeal for a good minute or less, then it'll stop. Until my first downshift. But after that it quits.

I've been scrolling all these pages and haven't found a DIY page for replacing the belts. Does anyone know of one? Or... Do I just need to tighten them? I figured I'd just replace them since I don't know when they were last replaced.

Might just be loose, but would be a good call to replace them.
I have a DIY for alternator replacement, it's pretty much the same process to replace power steering and alternator belts.

Thanks. The tutorial helped. Turns out one of the belts was just really old and worn out. But I replaced both of them anyway.
