5 minute guide
3 Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of speakers is shown here (six speakers for the VSX-415, and eight for the VSX-
515), but home setups may vary. Simply connect the speakers you have as shown below.
receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at
least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best.
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. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16Ω (please
see Switching the speaker impedance on page 61 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of
less than 8Ω).
