Connecting your equipment

Determining the speakers’ application

By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/ SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) (or the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR)), and the subwoofer (SW), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel can be enjoyed.

The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonlyused in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

• VSX-826 only: Both the surround back speakers and the

front height speakers can be connected at the same time. In this case, sound will be output from either the front height speaker or the surround back speaker depending on which one was selected in the Speaker System setting (see The Speaker System setting (VSX-826 only) on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

• VSX-821 only: To connect the surround back or front

height speakers, an additional amplifier is required. Connect the additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of this unit and connect the surround back or front height speakers to the additional amplifier (see Connect the surround back or front height speakers (In case of VSX-821) on page 8).

Another way, you can use the speakers connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. See Switching the speaker terminal on page 10 for the listening options with this setup.

• VSX-826 only: You will not be able to connect the B

speakers if you connect the front height speakers in the main zone. Further, if you use the B speakers, a

5.1 ch playback will be the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output from the surround back speaker.)

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

• It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.

• Refer to the chart below for placement of speakers you intend to connect.

Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t use the front height speakers, we recommend placing the surround speaker right beside you.

If you intend to connect only one surround back speakers, place it directly behind you.

If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

• If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.

• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so th at the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.

Some tips for improving sound quality

Connecting your equipment

CAUTION

Important

CAUTION

12 3

10 mm

• Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback.

• Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

• Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter directly above the left and right front speakers.

• If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV.

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

• When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be damaged.)

• After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto

MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.

See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 19.

• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

Connecting the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.

• VSX-821 only: Note tha t only the front speakers are set to a

value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω if you select SPAB in

Switching the speaker terminal on page 10. Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

Bare wire connections

Twist exposed wire strands together.

Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.

Tighten terminal.

Connect the wires to the B Speakers terminals of the VSX-826 as shown below:

Twist exposed wire strands together.

Push open the tabs and insert exposed wire.

Release the tabs.

• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when

connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

Connect the surround back or front height speakers (In case of VSX-826)

The Speaker System setting must be set if the above connections are performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround back speaker is connected and Height if the front height speaker is connected (If neither the surround back speaker nor the front height speaker is connected, either setting will suffice) (see The Speaker System setting (VSX-826 only) on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.

Connect the surround back or front height speakers (In case of VSX-821)

Connect the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of the unit and additional amplifier to add a surround back or front height speaker.

The Pre Out setting must be set if the above connections are performed. Select SURR.BACK if the surround back speaker is connected and HEIGHT if the front height speaker is connected (If neither the surround back speaker nor the front height speaker is connected, either setting will suffice) (see The Pre Out Setting (VSX-821 only) on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

• You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

Switching the speaker terminal

Three speaker system settings are possible using the SPEAKERS button.

VSX-826 only: If you selected Surr.Back in The Spea ker 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A – 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 mode is selected for stereo output from A- and B-speaker terminals.

• SP – No sound is output from the speakers.

• 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.

• 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.

HDMI

Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.

• 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.

About HDMI

Analog audio cables

Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect analog audio components. These cables are typically red and white, and you should connect the red plugs to R (right) terminals and white plugs to L (left) terminals.

Digital audio cables

Commercially available coaxial digital audio cables or optical cables should be used to connect digital components to this receiver.

• When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical socket.

• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.

• You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial digital connections.

Video cables

Standard RCA video cables

These cables are the most common type of video connection and are used to connect to the composite video terminals. The yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.

Component video cables

Use component video cables to get the best possible color reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (P

R) signals and then output. In this way, interference between

the signals is avoided.

About the video converter (VSX-826 only)

The video converter ensures that all video sources are output from HDMI OUT terminal. The only exception is HDMI: since this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI video outputs when connecting this video source.

• If several video components are assigned to the same

input function, the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).

• 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 converted. In this case, try switching Video Converter OFF (see Video Converter on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

• The signal input resolutions that can be converted from

the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/ 576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signal cannot be converted.

About video outputs connection (VSX-821 only)

This receiver is not loaded with a video converter. When you use component video cables or HDMI cables for connecting to the input device, the same cables should be used for connecting to the TV.

The signals input from the analog (composite and component) video inputs of this unit will not be output from the HDMI OUT.

Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video. A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.

• For the audio connection, refer to Connecting your TV with no HDMI input on page 14.

• If you connect any source component to the receiver using a component video input, you must also have your TV connected to this receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks.

• If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you’ve connected. This only needs to be done if you didn’t connect according to the following defaults:

COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1: DVD

COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2: DVR/BDR

Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)

The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.

• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output at high volume.

• VSX-821 only: The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the HDMI output to your TV. Use composite or component connections for system setup.

• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker settings you’ve made.

• Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod USB input should not be selected as an input source.

• VSX-826 only: When both the surround back speaker and the front height speaker are connected, conduct Auto MCACC setup twice: once with the Speaker System setting is in Surr.Back and once with the Speaker System setting is in Height. (There is no need to conduct Auto MCACC setup every time the Speaker System setting is changed.)

• VSX-821 only: If you connected either the surround back

speaker or the front height speaker, make sure that the Pre Out setting is correctly set before performing the Auto MCACC setup (see The Pre Out Setting (VSX-821 only) on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM). (Here is an explanation using the OSD screen for a surround back speaker connection.)

other possible interference.

Wait for the test tones to finish.

during the test tones.

Confirm the speaker configuration.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.

• With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise)

select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Other problems when using the Auto MCACC setup below).

If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct, use / to select the speaker and / to change the setting. When you’re finished, go to the next step.

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side column, there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t fix the problem, turn off the power and check the speaker connections.

Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.

If the screen in step 7 is left untouched for 10 seconds and ENTER is not pressed in step 8, the Auto MCACC setup will start automatically as shown.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs more test tones to determine the optimum receiver settings for channel level, speaker distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ. Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 1 to 3 minutes.

The Auto MCACC setup has finished! You return to the

System Setup menu.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using the System Setup menu (see The System Setup menu on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

• Depending on the characteristics of your room,

sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Speaker Setting on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM to do this.

• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the

actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

Other problems when using the Auto MCACC setup

If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. If there are any instructions showing in the front panel display, please follow them.

• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the

microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV when doing the Auto MCACC setup.

Détermination des enceintes à utiliser

Un système surround de type 7.1 peut être obtenu en connectant les enceintes avant gauche et droite (L/R), l’enceinte centrale (C), les enceintes surround gauche et droite (SL/SR), les enceintes surround arrière gauche et droite (SBL/SBR) (ou les enceintes avant-haut gauche et droite (FHL/FHR)), et le subwoofer (SW).

Le système surround de type 5.1 est le plus couramment utilisés dans les cinémas à domicile. Pour obtenir le meilleur son surround possible, installez vos enceintes conformément à l’illustration ci-dessous.

• VSX-826 uniquement : Les enceintes surround arrière et

les enceintes surround avant-haut peuvent être connectées simultanément. Dans ce cas, selon la configuration du Speaker System choisie, le son sera émis soit par les enceintes avant-haut, soit par les enceintes surround arrière (voir la section Configuration du Speaker System (VSX-826 uniquement) du Mode d’emploi sur le CD-ROM).

• VSX-821 uniquement : Vous devez disposer d’un

amplificateur supplémentaire pour raccorder les enceintes surround arrière ou surround avant-haut.

Raccordez l’amplificateur supplémentaire aux sorties PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT de cet appareil et raccordez les enceintes surround arrière ou les enceintes surround avant-haut à l’amplificateur supplémentaire (voir la section Connectez les enceintes surround arrière ou surround avant-haut (VSX-821) à la page 8).

Par ailleurs, vous utiliser les enceintes raccordées aux bornes d’enceintes B pour bénéficier d’une reproduction stéréo dans une autre pièce. Pour plus d’informations sur les options d’écoute avec cette configuration, voir la section Commutation du système d’enceintes à la page 10.

• VSX-826 uniquement : Vous ne pourrez pas connecter

les enceintes B si vous connectez les enceintes avanthaut dans la zone principale. De plus, si vous utilisez

les enceintes B, le mode surround 5.1 sera le maximum

possible dans la zone principale. (Aucun son n’est émis par les enceintes surround arrière.)

L’emplacement des enceintes dans la pièce d’écoute a une grande influence sur la qualité du son obtenu. Les conseils suivants vous permettront d’obtenir le meilleur son avec votre système.

•Il vaut mieux placer les enceintes de manière à réaliser un angle ouvert vers la position d’écoute. L’angle dépend de la taille de la pièce. Utilisez un angle inférieur pour les pièces plus grandes.

• Consult ez le graphique ci-dessous pour le placement des enceintes que vous prévoyez de connecter.

FHL

30 30

120 120

Placez les enceintes surround à 120° de part et d’autre de l’axe central du système. Si vous, (1) utiliser une enceinte surround arrière et (2) n’utilisez pas les enceintes avant-haut, nous vous recommandons de placer les enceintes surround à 90° de part et d’autre de l’axe central, c’est-à-dire immédiatement à gauche et à droite de la position d’écoute.

Si vous prévoyez de n’utiliser qu’une seule enceinte surround arrière, placez-la dans l’axe central, directement derrière la position d’écoute.

Si les enceintes surround ne peuvent pas être placées directement à côté de la position d’écoute dans un système à 7.1 canaux, l’effet surround pourra être amélioré en désactivant la fonction Up Mix (voir la section Réglage de la fonction Up Mix du Mode d’emploi sur le CD-ROM).

• Pour obtenir un effet stéréo optimal, écartez les enceintes avant de 2 à 3 mètres en les plaçant à égale distance du téléviseur.

• Si vous utilisez une enceinte centrale, placez les enceintes avant à un angle plus grand. Sinon, placez-les à un angle plus étroit.

téléviseur de sorte que le son du canal central semble provenir de l’écran du téléviseur. Assurez-vous également que l’enceinte centrale ne traverse pas la ligne formée par le bord d’attaque des enceintes avant gauche et droite.

• Les enceintes surround et surround arrière doivent être placées 60 cm à 90 cm plus haut que vos oreilles et légèrement inclinées vers le bas. Assurez-vous que les enceintes ne sont pas face à face. Pour les signaux DVDAudio, les enceintes doivent être plus rapprochées de l’auditeur que lors de la lecture sur un appareil de cinéma à domicile.

•Essayez de placer les enceintes surround à la même distance de la position d’écoute que les enceintes avant et centrale. Sinon, l’effet de son surround sera affaibli.

• Placez les enceintes avant-haut gauche et droite à au moins un mètre à la verticale au-dessus des enceintes avant gauche et droite.

• Si vous prévoyez de placer les enceintes à côté d’un téléviseur à écran cathodique, utilisez des enceintes protégées contre les interférences électromagnétiques, ou placez les enceintes à une distance suffisante de l’écran.

• Le caisson de basses peut être placé sur le sol. L’idéal est de placer les autres enceintes au niveau de vos oreilles en position d’écoute. Il est déconseillé de poser les enceintes sur le sol (à l’exception du caisson de graves) ou de les installer très haut en position murale.

• Si vous ne raccordez pas de caisson de graves, raccordez des enceintes capables de reproduire les basses fréquences au canal avant. (Sinon, les basses fréquences des graves étant restituées par les enceintes avant, celles-ci pourraient être endommagées.)

• Après avoir raccordé les enceintes, effectuez la

configuration Auto MCACC (réglage de l’environnement des enceintes).

Voir la section Configuration automatique du son surround (MCACC) à la page 19.

• Assurez-vous que toutes les enceintes sont correc tement installées. Ceci permet non seulement d’améliorer la qualité du son, mais aussi de réduire les risques de dommages ou de blessures, en empêchant les enceintes d’être renversées ou de tomber en cas de choc externe ou de secousse telle qu’un tremblement de terre.

Raccordement des enceintes

Le récepteur fonctionnera avec seulement deux enceintes stéréo (les enceintes avant sur le schéma), mais il est recommandé d’en utiliser au moins trois ; une configuration complète de huit enceintes est cependant idéale pour la production du son surround.

Vérifiez que l’enceinte droite est raccordée à la borne droite (R) et que l’enceinte gauche est raccordée à la borne gauche (L). Assurez-vous également que les bornes positive et négative (+/–) du récepteur sont reliées aux bornes positive et négative des enceintes.

Vous pouvez utiliser des enceintes ayant une impédance normale comprise entre 6  et 16 .

• VSX-821 uniquement : Notez que seules les enceintes

avant sont réglées sur une valeur comprise entre 12  et 16  si vous avez sélectionné SPAB dans la procédure

Commutation du système d’enceintes à la page 10. Assurez-vous que tous les branchements ont été effectués correctement avant de raccorder cet appareil au secteur.

Branchement des fils nus

Torsadez ensemble les brins de fil dénudés.

• Les bornes des haut-parleurs sont sous une tension DANGEREUSE. Pour éviter tout risque de décharge

électrique lors du branchement et du débranchement des câbles de haut-parleur, débranchez le cordon d’alimentation avant de toucher des parties non isolées.

• Assurez-vous que tous les brins de fil dénudés du câble d’enceinte sont torsadés ensemble et insérés complètement dans la borne de l’enceinte. Si une partie du fil d’enceinte exposé entre en contact avec le panneau arrière, l’alimentation peut être coupée par mesure de sécurité.

Connectez les enceintes surround arrière ou surround avant-haut (VSX-826)

Les paramètres Speaker System doivent être configurés lorsque les raccordements ci-dessus sont réalisés. Sélectionnez Surr.Back dans le cas où les enceintes surround arrière sont connectées et Height lorsque les enceintes surround avant-haut sont raccordées (Si aucune des enceintes surround arrière et surround avant-haut ne sont connectées, n’importe quelle option convient) (voir la section Configuration du Speaker System (VSX-826 uniquement) du Mode d’emploi sur le CD-ROM).

• Si vous utilisez une seule enceinte surround arrière, raccordez-la aux bornes SURROUND BACK L (Single).

Connectez les enceintes surround arrière ou surround avant-haut (VSX-821)

Raccordez les sorties PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT de l’appareil et de l’amplificateur supplémentaire afin d’ajouter des enceintes surround arrière ou surround avanthaut. Les paramètres Pre Out doivent être configurés lorsque les raccordements ci-dessus sont réalisés. Sélectionnez SURR.BACK dans le cas où les enceintes surround arrière sont connectées et HEIGHT lorsque les enceintes surround avant-haut sont raccordées (Si aucune des enceintes surround arrière et surround avant-haut ne sont connectées, n’importe quelle option convient) (voir la section Configuration de l’option Pre Out (VSX-821 uniquement) du Mode d’emploi sur le CD-ROM).

•Vous pouvez également raccorder l’amplificateur supplémentaire aux sorties Pre Out de canal surround arrière pour ajouter une seule enceinte. Dans ce cas, connectez l’amplificateur à la borne gauche (L (Single)) uniquement.
