3 Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of speakers is shown here (six speakers (including the subwoofer) for the VSX-
D711, and eight (also including the subwoofer) for the VSX-D811S), 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.
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.
• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.
• If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page
39) to large
• 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.
