Speakers - Pioneer Elite VSX-24TX Operating Instructions Manual

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-27TX/26TX/24TX 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.
memo
The VSX-27TX/26TX/24TX 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'll only hear the front speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources will
be down-mixed to these two speakers.
