Connecting your equipment

Determining the speakers’ application

This unit permits you to build various surround systems, in

accordance with the number of speakers you have.

Be sure to connect speakers to the front left and right

channels (L and R).

If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be

connected to the SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two

subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more

powerful sound reproduction.
In this case, the same sound is output from the two

subwoofers.

Choose one from Plans [A] to [D] below.

Important

The Pioneer S-SLW500 passive subwoofer can only be used

for VSX-S510. When connecting speakers using Plans [C],

be sure to use a model with a built-in amp and connect to

the PREOUT SUBWOOFER terminal.

[A] 5.1 channel surround system

Speaker System setting: Normal

5.1 ch surround system connects the left and right front

speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right

surround speakers (SL/SR), and the subwoofer (SW).

[B] 3.1 channel surround system & Speaker B
connection (VSX-S510 only)

Speaker System setting: Speaker B

With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy 3.1-

channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo

playback of the same sound on the B speakers.

When using the B speakers, main zone sound will only be

output from the front speakers, the center speaker and the

subwoofer.

Speaker B does not allow for subwoofer connection. Please

use full-range speakers.

[C] 6.1 channel surround system (Surround Back)
(VSX-S510 only)

Speaker System setting: SB Single

6.1 channel surround system that enhances sound depth can

be realized by an addition of a surround back speaker (SB) to

the 5.1 channel surround system. When connecting a

subwoofer in this way, please make sure to use one with a

built-in amp.

[D] 7.1 channel surround system (VSX-S510 only)

Speaker System setting: Normal

7.1 channel surround system can be realized by the addition

of a surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) to the 5.1 channel

surround system.

Important

When connecting surround back speakers (SBL/SBR), a

separate external amp is required (see

Connect the

surround back speakers (VSX-S510 only) on page 13

).
