Connecting Speakers (VSX-D710S)
A full complement of six speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the
speakers you have in the manner described below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (called “front”
speakers in the diagram) but we recommend you use at least three speakers and five is best.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.
MEMO:
• The receiver has two speaker systems, A & B. A is the main system supporting the full complement of surround
sound speakers. If you switch on both A & B speaker systems, only front speakers and the subwoofer will
be audible. No sound will come from the center or surround speakers but multi channel 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.
• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8
Ω to 16 Ω.
Be sure to complete all other
connections before connecting this
unit to the AC power source.

When using the speaker on your TV as the center

unit to the audio input jack on your TV. In this case, the
center speaker shown is unnecessary.
