Switching The Speaker System - Pioneer VSX-819H Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting up
• If the surround speakers cannot be set
directly to the side of the listening position
with a 7.1-channel system, the surround
effect can be enhanced by turning off the
UP Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix
function on page 37).
• Try not to place the surround speakers
farther away from the listening position
than the front and center speakers. Doing
so can weaken the surround sound effect.
Caution
• Make sure that all speakers are securely
installed. This not only improves sound
quality, but also reduces the risk of
damage or injury resulting from speakers
being knocked over or falling in the event of
external shocks such as earthquakes.

Switching the speaker system

Three speaker system settings are possible
using the SPEAKERS button.
• Use the SPEAKERS button on the front
panel to select a speaker system setting.

Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system
option:
• SPA – Sound is output from the speakers
connected to the A speaker terminals and
SURROUND BACK PRE OUT

• SPB – Sound is output from the two
speakers connected to speaker system B

no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).

to a value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω when you select SPAB.
