03Connecting up

•When using the speaker on your TV as the center speaker (C), connect the CENTER PREOUT jack on this unit to the audio input jack on your TV. In this case the center speaker shown is unnecessary.

•If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (see illustration on page 11).

•If you select subwoofer (SB SW) in the Surround back speaker setting on page 46 you can hook up a subwoofer instead of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals. Connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (see illustration on page 11).

2Loosen speaker terminal and insert exposed wire.

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire is touching the back panel when you switch the unit on, the power may cut off as a safety measure. Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.

A and B speaker systems

VSX-D714/D814 only

The receiver has two speaker systems: A and B. A is the main system supporting the full speaker setup. If you switch on both A and B speaker systems, only the front speakers and the (active) subwoofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center, surround, or surround back speakers, but multichannel sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if you choose just the B system you‘ll only hear the front speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources will be down- mixed to these two speakers.

•Press the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to switch between speaker systems (A, B or both).

Hints on speaker placement

Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers (following), but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them.

•Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.

•When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV.
