Connecting The Speakers - Pioneer VSX-520-K Operating Instructions Manual

03 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.
If you're not using a subwoofer, change the
front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on
page 38) to LARGE.
Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting this unit to the AC power source.
