PREPARATION PREPARATION Connecting Your Equipment Connecting Speakers We recommend a full complement of seven speakers and a subwoofer as shown here but, naturally, everyone's home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below. The VSX-47TX will work with just two stereo speakers (called "front" speakers in the diagram) but it is desirable to have at least three speakers (two "front" speakers and a "center" speaker). One of the latest features of home theater is the use of surround back speakers. These speakers add even greater realism in movie sound effects and some new discs with soundtracks in Dolby Digital or DTS incorporate these channels. See the next page for speaker placement. In general, make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the R terminal and the speaker on the left to the L terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/-) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. memo • If you only have one surround back speaker hook it up to the left surround back terminal. • The VSX-47TX has two speaker systems, A & B. If you are planning on setting up another set of speakers (speaker system B), refer to "Speaker System B Setup" on page 70. • If you use a THX certified subwoofer use the THX INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer has one) or switch the filter position to THX on your subwoofer.

Connecting Speakers
We recommend a full complement of seven speakers and a subwoofer as shown here but, naturally,
everyone's home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below.
The VSX-47TX will work with just two stereo speakers (called "front" speakers in the diagram) but it is
desirable to have at least three speakers (two "front" speakers and a "center" speaker).
One of the latest features of home theater is the use of surround back speakers. These speakers add
even greater realism in movie sound effects and some new discs with soundtracks in Dolby Digital or DTS
incorporate these channels. See the next page for speaker placement.
In general, make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the R terminal and the speaker on the left
to the L terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/
–
) terminals on the receiver match those on
the speakers.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
•
If you only have one surround back speaker hook it up to the left surround back terminal.
•
The VSX-47TX has two speaker systems, A & B. If you are planning on setting up another
set of speakers (speaker system B), refer to "Speaker System B Setup" on page 70.
•
If you use a THX certified subwoofer use the THX INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your
subwoofer has one) or switch the filter position to THX on your subwoofer.
