Caution

Before making or changing the connections
, switch off
the power and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Plugging in components should be the
last connection you make with your system.
• Be careful not to allow any contact between speaker
wires from different terminals.
• You can use speakers with a nominal impedance
between 6–16
Ω
(please see
Switching the speaker
impedance
on page 80 if you plan to use speakers
with an impedance of less than 8
Ω
).

Switching the speaker system
If you selected

possible using the
SPEAKERS
button. If you selected
Normal (SB)
or
Front Bi-Amp
, the button will simply
switch your main speaker system on or off. The options
below are for the
Second Zone
setting only.
• Use the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to
select a speaker system setting.
As mentioned above, if you have selected
Normal (SB)
,
the button will simply switch your main speaker system
(A) on or off.
The illustration above shows the VSX-2014i model.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system option:
•
SP
A
– Sound is output from speaker system A and
the same signal is output from the pre-out terminals.
•
SP
B
– Sound is output from the two speakers
connected to speaker system B. Multichannel
sources will not be heard. The same signal is output
from the surround back channel pre-out terminals.
•
SP
AB
– Sound is output from speaker system A (up
to 5 channels, depending on the source), the two
speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer.
The sound from speaker system B will be the same as
the sound from speaker system A (multichannel
sources will be downmixed to 2 channels).
•
SP
(off) – No sound is output from the speakers. The
same sound is output from the pre-out terminals
(including from your subwoofer, if connected) as
when selecting speaker system A (above).
Note
• The subwoofer output depends on the settings you
made in
Manual speaker setup
on page 43. However,
if
SP

is selected above, no sound is heard from the
subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
• Depending on the settings in

setting
on page 38 output from the surround back
pre-out terminals may change.
• All speaker systems (except
Second Zone
