Connecting Your Equipment

Speakers

A full complement of six speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone’s home set up will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below. The VSX-D938TX/D908TX/D908TX-G will work with just two stereo speakers (called “front” speakers in the diagram) but the receiver is designed to be used with at least three speakers.

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. When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

The VSX-D938TX/D908TX/D908TX-G has two speaker systems, A & B. A is the main system supporting the full complement of surround sound speakers. If you switch on both A & B speaker systems, only front speakers and the sub-woofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center or surround speakers but multi channel sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if you choose just the B system, you will only hear the front speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources will be down-mixed to these two speakers.
