Quick Start Guide
Before hooking up your speakers affix
the color-coded sticker with the
appropriate name (for example,
“FRONT R”) to the speaker wire so
you always know which speaker that
wire is connected to.
While pressing down
the speaker tab push the
speaker wire into the
terminal and release
speaker terminal tab.
When you’re hooking up
your subwoofer make
sure its power cord is
disconnected.

No Frills Setup
This receiver was designed with the easiest possible setup in mind so if you just want to hook up your equipment and
start enjoying quality home theater movies follow the four steps below and use these easy settings on the VSX-C100/
C100-S. In most cases you can leave the receiver in the default settings.
Default Settings:
• Speaker Setting: Automatically sensed by the receiver
• Input Setting: DVD
• Signal Select: AUTO
• Listening Mode: AUTO
• Sound Mode: NATURAL
1) Hook up your DVD player, speakers, subwoofer and TV.
Connect your DVD player to this unit using either the coaxial digital terminal or the optical digital terminals,
depending on which type of digital terminal your DVD has. The quality of these two types of connection is the same
so it’s simply a matter of matching like with like, and you don’t need to do both. It is easiest, however, if you follow
this receiver’s default settings and connect your DVD player to coaxial terminal. If your DVD player does not have an
coaxial terminal, use one of the optical terminal to hook it up to this receiver. (In this case you need to assign the
DVD function to that terminal. See p.33 in order to do this.) Follow the diagram below to hook up your DVD player
to either the coaxial or optical terminal(s). Then, hook up the speakers you want to use with this receiver. This
receiver can be used with just two speakers but it’s better to have five speakers to get accurate surround sound. See
pages 18-19 for more details on connecting your speakers. Next, hook up your powered subwoofer, if you have one.
For all speakers make sure to connect the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals on the receiver and speakers with
the same wire (positive to positive, negative to negative).
