Connecting Speakers - Pioneer VSX-C550 Bedienungsanleitung

Connecting Your Equipment
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall
outlet.

Connecting Speakers

A full complement of five 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 sense which speakers you have hooked up. The
receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (called "Front" speakers in the diagram) but we recommend you use
five speakers. If you don't hook up surround speakers you need to adjust the Listening mode settings (see p. 33).
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.
• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 Ω to 16 Ω.
Before hooking up your speakers
affix the color-coded stickers with
the appropriate names (for example,
"FRONT R") to the speaker wire so
you always know which speaker
each wire is connected to.

Speaker terminals
Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.
1 Twist about 10 mm of bare wire strands together.
2 Push in the speaker terminal tab and insert the wire.
3 Release speaker terminal tab, it should snugly grip the speaker wire.
Caution:
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the
16
bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
