Pioneer VSX-D514 Operating Instructions Manual page 9

5 minute guide
3 Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of speakers is shown here (six speakers for the VSX-D514/D714, and eight for
the VSX-D814), but different home setups may vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in
the manner shown below. The 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 72 if you plan to use speakers with an
impedance of less than 8Ω).
