Pioneer VSX-C100-S operating instructions Connecting Speakers, Speaker terminals

Connecting Your Equipment

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet.

Connecting Speakers

A full complement of five speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below. The receiver will sense which speakers you have hooked up. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (called “Front” speakers in the diagram) but we recommend you use five speakers. If you don’t hook up surround speakers you need to adjust the Listening mode settings (see p. 35).

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 Ω to 16 Ω .

Before hooking up your speakers affix the color-coded stickers with the appropriate names (for example, “FRONT R”) to the speaker wire so you always know which speaker each wire is connected to.
