Connecting The Speakers - Pioneer VSX-820-K Operation Instructions Manual

03 Connecting your equipment

Connecting the speakers

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

You can use the speakers connected to the B
speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback
in another room. See Switching the speaker
system on page 20 for the listening options
with this setup.
You can use speakers with a normal
impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.
However, note that only the front speakers are
set to a value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω if you
select SPAB in Switching the speaker system
on page 20.
Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting this unit to the AC power source.
