Connecting The Speakers (Vsx-D514/D714) - Pioneer VSX-D514 Operating Instructions Manual

03 Connecting up

Connecting the speakers (VSX-D514/D714)

A complete setup of six speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown below, but everyone's
home setup will 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. If you're not using a
subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 46) to large.
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).
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.
