Introduction to home theater
You are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen to music, but may not be used to home theater systems that give you many more options (such as surround sound) when listening to soundtracks.
Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your room, but also on the source and the sound settings of the receiver.
DVD-Video has become the basic source material for home theater due to its size, quality, and ease of use. Depending on the DVD, you can have up to seven different audio tracks coming from one disc, all of them being sent to different speakers in your system. This is what creates a surround sound effect and gives you the feeling of ‘being there’.
This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs, according to your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in Listening to your system on page 36.

Listening to Surround Sound
This receiver was designed with the easiest possible setup in mind, so with the following quick setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings.
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.
1 Hook up your DVD player.
For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital connection from the DVD player to the receiver. You can do this with either a coaxial, or an optical connection (you don’t need to connect both). If you hook up using an optical cable, you should refer to Digital input settings on page 50 to assign the optical input to DVD.
Use a video cord to connect the video output on your DVD player to the receiver using the jacks shown below.
2 Hook up your TV.
Use a video cord to connect your receiver to the TV using the jacks as shown below.

3 Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of speakers is shown here (six speakers for the VSX-D514/D714, and eight for the VSX-D814), but different home setups may vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. 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.
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. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16Ω (please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8Ω).

Component video cords
VSX-D714/D814 only
Use component video cords 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 (PB and PR) signals and then output. In this way, interference between the signals is avoided. Connect from the component video jacks on the rear of the receiver to the component video jacks on the video component you are hooking up.

Connecting up
Connecting digital components
The easiest way to hook up this receiver for surround sound is to use a digital input. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial output from the component to coaxial input on the receiver).
The VSX-D514/D714 has three digital inputs on the rear panel (two coaxial inputs and an optical input) and the VSX-D814 has four (two coaxial inputs and two optical inputs). Connect your digital components to the rear panel as shown below.
•VSX-D714/D814 only – There is one digital output jack which is marked DIGITAL OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the digital audio signal.

03 Connecting up
•If you have an LD player, you need to make special connections to ensure you can play 2 RF format LDs on your system. If this is the case, hook up your DVD or LD player directly to an RF demodulator using both the 2 RF output and either a coaxial or optical digital connection. We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks as well. Make sure the RF demodulator digital in switch is set correctly (optical or coaxial depending on the connection). See the component's instruction manual if you are unsure about its input and output jacks.
Connecting audio components
To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks. For components you want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver (a set of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs), but for components that only play, you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs. You must also hook up your digital components to analog audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog components.

03 Connecting up
Connecting video components
Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. With digital video components (like a DVD player), you must use the connections shown on this page for the video signal, but in order to hear a digital source (like a DVD) you should hook up the audio to a digital input (see page 15). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections (see page 16).
For better quality video, you can hook up using the component video jacks or the S-video jacks (quality descends in this order) on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks. Make sure they are connected to the video component using the same kind of connection.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet.

03 Connecting up
Connecting the speakers (VSX-D514/D714)
A complete setup of six speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown below, but everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. 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. If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 46) to large.
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. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16Ω (please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8Ω).
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

Connecting up
Connecting the speakers (VSX-D814)
A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown below, but everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. 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. If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 46) to large.
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. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16Ω (please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8Ω).
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

03 Connecting up
•When using the speaker on your TV as the center speaker (C), connect the CENTER PREOUT jack on this unit to the audio input jack on your TV. In this case the center speaker shown is unnecessary.
•If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (see illustration on page 11).
•If you select subwoofer (SB SW) in the
Surround back speaker setting on page 46 you can hook up a subwoofer instead of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals. Connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (see illustration on page 11).

1Twist exposed wire strands together.
2Loosen speaker terminal and insert exposed wire.
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 is touching the back panel when you switch the unit on, the power may cut off as a safety measure. Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.

A and B speaker systems
VSX-D714/D814 only
The receiver has two speaker systems: A and B. A is the main system supporting the full speaker setup. If you switch on both A and B speaker systems, only the front speakers and the (active) subwoofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center, surround, or surround back speakers, but multichannel 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 downmixed to these two speakers.
• Press the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to switch between speaker systems (A, B or both).
Hints on speaker placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers (following), but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them.
•Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.
•When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV.
En
Connecting up
•Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
•If possible, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
•Try not to place the surround speakers further away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
•To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.
•If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
•Make sure no exposed speaker wire is touching the rear panel, this may cause the receiver to turn off automatically.
Speaker placement diagrams
The following illustrations show 6.1 and 7.1 channel speaker setups.
•VSX-D514 only – Follow the speaker placement diagrams below, disregarding the surround back speakers.
•VSX-D714 only – See Connecting additional amplifiers on page 24 for more on connecting a surround back speaker.
