Connecting The Speakers - Pioneer VSX 920 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting your equipment

Connecting the speakers

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.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the
right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker
on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make
sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals
on the receiver match those on the speakers.
The front height
terminals can also be
used for Speaker B.

impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.
