Pioneer VSX-1121-K - Manual (Page 12)

This plan replaces the left and right front height
speakers shown in [A] with the left and right
front wide speakers (FWL/FWR).
It is not possible to produce sound simultane-
ously from the front height or front wide speak-
ers and the surround back speakers.

03 Connecting your equipment
Determining the speakers’
application
This unit permits you to build various surround
systems, in accordance with the number of
speakers you have.
! Be sure to connect speakers to the front left
and right channels (L and R).
! It is also possible to only connect one of the
surround back speakers (SB) or neither.
! If you have two subwoofers, the second
subwoofer can be connected to the
SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two
subwoofers increases the bass sound to
achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In
this case, the same sound is output from the
two subwoofers.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.
Important
! The Speaker System setting must be made if
you use any of the connections shown below
other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on
page 66 ).
! Sound does not come through simultaneously
from the front height, front wide, speaker B
and surround back speakers. Output speakers
are different depending on the input signal or
listening mode.

speakers (SBL/SBR), and the subwoofers (SW 1/
