Connecting your equipment
Determining the speakers’ application
By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the
center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/
SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) (or
the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR)), and the
subwoofer (SW), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel
can be enjoyed.
The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonly-used
in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround
sound, install your speakers as shown below.
Important
VSX-827 only: Both the surround back speakers and the
front height speakers can be connected at the same time.
In this case, sound will be output from either the front
height speaker or the surround back speaker depending on
which one was selected in the Speaker System setting
(see The Speaker System setting (VSX-827 only)
on page 50).
VSX-527 only: To connect the surround back or front
height speakers, an additional amplifier is required.
Connect the additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURR
BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of this unit and connect the
surround back or front height speakers to the additional
amplifier (see Connect the surround back or front height
speakers (In case of VSX-527) on page 12).
VSX-827 only: Another way, you can use the speakers
connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo
playback in another room. See Switching the speaker terminal
on page 14 for the listening options with this setup.
You will not be able to connect the B speakers if you
connect the front height speakers in the main zone.
Further, if you use the B speakers, a 5.1 ch playback will be
the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output from
the surround back speaker.)
Some tips for improving sound quality
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on
the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help
you to get the best sound from your system.
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.
Refer to the chart below for placement of speakers you
intend to connect.
-
Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If
you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t use
the front height speakers, we recommend placing the
surround speaker right beside you.
-
If you intend to connect only one surround back
speakers, place it directly behind you.
-
If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side
of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the
surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up
Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function
on page 36).
For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to
3 m apart, at equal distance 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.
