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 ).
