En

• When using the speaker on your TV as the

center speaker (

C

), connect the

CENTER

PREOUT

jack on this unit to the audio

input jack on your TV. In this case the

center speaker shown is unnecessary.

• If you are using only one surround back

speaker, connect the positive wire to the

right channel (

+

) terminal, and the

negative wire to the left channel (

–

)

terminal (see illustration on page 11).

• If you select subwoofer (

SB SW

) in the

Surround back speaker setting

on page 46

you can hook up a subwoofer instead of

speakers to the surround back speaker

terminals. Connect the positive wire to the

right channel (

+

) terminal, and the

negative wire to the left channel (

–

)

terminal (see illustration on page 11).

Speaker terminals

1 Twist exposed wire strands together.

2 Loosen speaker terminal and insert

exposed wire.

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 is touching the back panel when you

switch the unit on, the power may cut off as a

safety measure. Use good quality speaker

wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.

3 Tighten terminal.

A and B speaker systems

VSX-D714/D814 only

The receiver has two speaker systems: A and

B. A is the main system supporting the full

speaker setup. If you switch on both A and B

speaker systems, only the front speakers and

the (active) subwoofer will be audible. No

sound will come from the center, surround, or

surround back speakers, but multichannel

sources will be down-mixed to the active

speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if

you choose just the B system you‘ll only hear

the front speakers connected to the B system

and multi channel sources will be down-

mixed to these two speakers.

• Press the SPEAKERS button on the

front panel to switch between speaker

systems (A, B or both).

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. We

have provided a few tips on getting the best

sound from your speakers (following), but you

should also 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.
