Switching the speaker terminal
Three speaker system settings are possible using the
SPEAKERS
button.
VSX-826 only:
If you selected
Surr.Back
in
The Speaker System
setting (VSX-826 only)
on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM,
you can switch between speakers using the
SPEAKERS
button. If you selected
Height
, the button will simply switch
your main speaker terminal on or off. The options below are
for the
Surr.Back
setting only.
Use the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to select a
speaker terminal setting.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker terminal option:
•
SP

– Sound is output from the speakers connected to
the A-speaker terminals and
PRE OUT SURR BACK/
FRONT HEIGHT
(VSX-821 only)
(multichannel playback is
possible).
•
SP
B
– Sound is output from the two speakers connected
to the B-speaker terminals (only stereo playback is
possible).
•
SP
AB
– Sound is output from the A-speaker terminals,
the two speakers in the B-speaker terminals, and the
subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed only
when the
STEREO
or
STEREO ALC

stereo output from A- and B-speaker terminals.
•
SP
– No sound is output from the speakers.
Note
• The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made
in
Speaker Setting
on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM.
However, if
SP
B
is selected above, no sound is heard
from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
•
VSX-821 only:
You can use speakers with a normal
impedance between 6
Ω
and 16
Ω
. However, be aware
that only the front speakers are set to a value between
12
Ω
and 16
Ω
when you select
SP
AB
.
• All speaker terminals (except Speaker B connections) are
switched off when headphones are connected.
Making cable connections
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit (as
shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field
produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a
humming noise from the speakers.
Important
• Before making or changing connections, switch off the
power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
• Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into
standby.
HDMI cables
Both video and sound signals can be transmitted
simultaneously with one cable. If connecting the player and
the TV via this receiver, for both connections, we recommend
using HDMI cables.
Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.
Note
• Set the HDMI parameter to
THRU
(THROUGH) and set
the input signal to
HDMI
, if you want to hear HDMI audio
output from your TV (no sound will be heard from this
receiver) (see
Setting the Audio options
and
Selecting the
audio input signal
on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try
adjusting the resolution settings on your component or
display. Note that some components (such as video game
units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this
case, use a (analog) composite connection.
• When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i
or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be
received.
