Connecting Your Equipment
Speakers
A full complement of eight speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone's home set up will
vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below. The VSA-E08 will
work with just two stereo speakers (called "front" speakers in the diagram) but the amplifier is
designed to be used with at least three speakers.
One of the latest features of home theater is the use of SURROUND BACK speakers. These
speakers add even great realism in movie sound effects and new discs with soundtracks in Dolby
Digital or DTS incorporates these channels. In order to be able to use these channels you must
hook your SURROUND BACK speakers up to an external amplifier and then connect that to the
VSA-E08, as shown in the diagram below. If you only have one SURROUND BACK speaker hook it
up the SURROUND BACK L (SINGLE) terminal on the back of the amplifier.
In general, 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
amplifier match those on the speakers. Before making or changing the connections, switch off the
power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
The VSA-E08 has two speaker systems, A & B. A is the main system supporting the full
complement of surround sound speakers. If you switch on both A & B speaker systems,
only front speakers and the subwoofer will be audible. No sound will come from the
center or surround speakers but multi channel 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.
Please use speakers with a nominal impedance rated 6Ω-16Ω.
For instructions explaining the speaker terminals see the next page.
