Speaker Terminals; Hints On Speaker Placement - Pioneer VSX-D510 Operating Instructions Manual

Speaker terminals

Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.
1 Twist around 1/2 inch of bare wire strands together.
2 Unclip the speaker terminal and insert the wire.
3 Snap shut the speaker terminal to secure.
Caution:
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the
bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

Hints on speaker placement

Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while
others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed
away from walls. Follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular
speakers to get the most out of them.
• Place the front left and right speakers at equal
distances from the TV.
• When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend
using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent
possible interference, such as discoloration of the
picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not
have magnetically shielded speakers and notice
discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers
farther away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so
that the sound of the center channel is localized at
the TV screen.
CAUTION!
If you choose to install the center speaker on top
of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by
other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage
or injury resulting from the speaker falling from
the TV in the event of external shocks such as
earthquakes.
• If possible, install the surround speakers slightly
above ear level.
• Try not to install the surround speakers farther away
from the listening position than the front and center
speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound
effect.
