Make sure that the speaker cable you’re using
is properly prepared with about 10mm of
insulator stripped from each wire, with the
exposed wire strands twisted together (
fig. A ).
Unscrew the terminal a few turns until there is
enough space to insert the exposed wire
(
fig. B ). Once the wire is in position, tighten the
terminal until the wire is firmly clamped ( fig. C ).
Caution
• These speaker terminals are hazardous
when live. To prevent the risk of electric
shock when connecting or disconnecting
the speaker cables, disconnect the power
cord.
A and B speaker systems
VSX-815 model 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.
• If you're using a center speaker, place the
front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place
them at a narrower angle.
• Place the center speaker above or below
the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen. Also,
make sure the center speaker does not
cross the line formed by the leading edge
of the front left and right speakers.
• It is best to angle the speakers towards the
listening position. The angle depends on
the size of the room. Use less of an angle
for bigger rooms.
• Surround and surround back speakers
should be positioned 60 cm–90 cm higher
than your ears and titled slightly
downward. Make sure the speakers don't
face each other.
