Connecting your equipment

Switching the speaker terminal

Three speaker system settings are possible using the

SPEAKERS button.

VSX-826 only: If you selected Surr.Back in The Speaker System

setting (VSX-826 only) on page 41, you can switch between

speakers using the SPEAKERS button. If you selected

Height, the button will simply switch your main speaker

terminal on or off. The options below are for the Surr.Back

setting only.



Use the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to select a

speaker terminal setting.

Press repeatedly to choose a speaker terminal option:

• SPA – Sound is output from the speakers connected to

the A-speaker terminals and PRE OUT SURR BACK/

FRONT HEIGHT (VSX-821 only) (multichannel playback is

possible).

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

to the B-speaker terminals (only stereo playback is

possible).

• SPAB – Sound is output from the A-speaker terminals,

the two speakers in the B-speaker terminals, and the

subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed only

when the STEREO or STEREO ALC mode is selected for

stereo output from A- and B-speaker terminals.

• SP – No sound is output from the speakers.

Note

• The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made

in Speaker Setting on page 38. However, if SPB is

selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer

(the LFE channel is not downmixed).

• VSX-821 only: You can use speakers with a normal

impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω. However, be aware

that only the front speakers are set to a value between

12 Ω and 16 Ω when you select SPAB.

• All speaker terminals (except Speaker B connections) are

switched off when headphones are connected.

Making cable connections

Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit (as

shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field

produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a

humming noise from the speakers.

Important

• Before making or changing connections, switch off the

power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

• Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into

standby.

HDMI cables

Both video and sound signals can be transmitted

simultaneously with one cable. If connecting the player and

the TV via this receiver, for both connections, we recommend

using HDMI cables.

Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.

Note

• Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on

page 36 to THRU (THROUGH) and set the input signal in

Selecting the audio input signal on page 26 to HDMI, if you

want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV (no sound

will be heard from this receiver).

• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try

adjusting the resolution settings on your component or

display. Note that some components (such as video game

units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this

case, use a (analog) composite connection.

• When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i

or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be

received.
