Connecting The Speakers - Pioneer VSX-819H Operating Instructions Manual

03 Connecting up

Connecting the speakers

A complete setup of six speakers (including the
subwoofer) is shown here 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 for surround sound. If
you're not using a subwoofer, change the front
speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on
page 42) 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.

You can use the speakers connected to the B
speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback
in another room. Make sure to review Placing
the speakers on page 24 when placing the
speakers in another room. See Switching the
speaker system on page 25 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 25.
Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting this unit to the AC power source.
