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.
