Determining the speakers’ application
By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the
center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/
SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) (or
the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR)), and the
subwoofer (SW), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel
can be enjoyed.
The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonlyused in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround
sound, install your speakers as shown below.
L

En
SW
SBL
R
C
SL
• VSX-826 only: Both the surround back speakers and the
front height speakers can be connected at the same time.
In this case, sound will be output from either the front
height speaker or the surround back speaker depending
on which one was selected in the Speaker System
setting (see The Speaker System setting (VSX-826 only) on
page 41).
• VSX-821 only: To connect the surround back or front
height speakers, an additional amplifier is required.
Connect the additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURR
BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of this unit and connect
the surround back or front height speakers to the
additional amplifier (see Connect the surround back or
front height speakers (In case of VSX-821) on page 11).
Another way, you can use the speakers connected to the B
speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another
room. See Switching the speaker terminal on page 13 for the
listening options with this setup.
• VSX-826 only: You will not be able to connect the B
speakers if you connect the front height speakers in
the main zone. Further, if you use the B speakers, a
5.1 ch playback will be the maximum in the main zone.
(No sound is output from the surround back speaker.)

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on
the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help
you to get the best sound from your system.
• It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening
position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use
less of an angle for bigger rooms.
• Refer to the chart below for placement of speakers you
intend to connect.
—
Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If
you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t
use the front height speakers, we recommend placing
the surround speaker right beside you.
—
If you intend to connect only one surround back
speakers, place it directly behind you.
—
If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the
side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system,
the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the
Up Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on
page 35).
• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to
3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.
• If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers
at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.
• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the
line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right
speakers.
Some tips for improving sound quality
Connecting your equipment
• Surround and surround back speakers should be
positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and
titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face
each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more
directly behind the listener than for home theater
playback.
• Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from
the listening position than the front and center speakers.
Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
• Place the left and right front height speakers at least one
meter directly above the left and right front speakers.
• If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use
shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient
distance from your CRT TV.
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the
other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re
listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a
wall is not recommended.
• When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers
with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front
channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is
played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be
damaged.)
• After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto
MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)
on page 24.
• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This
not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk
of damage or injury resulting from speakers being
knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks
such as earthquakes.
Connecting the speakers
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.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right
(R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on
the receiver match those on the speakers.
You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω
and 16 Ω.
• VSX-821 only: Not e tha t onl y the fron t speakers are set to a
value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω if you select SPAB in
Switching the speaker terminal on page 13.
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit
to the AC power source.

• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching any
uninsulated parts.
• 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 touches the back panel it
may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Connect the surround back or front height
speakers (In case of VSX-826)
The Speaker System setting must be set if the above
connections are performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround
back speaker is connected and Height if the front height
speaker is connected (If neither the surround back speaker
nor the front height speaker is connected, either setting will
suffice) (see The Speaker System setting (VSX-826 only) on
page 41).
• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it
to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.
Connect the surround back or front height
speakers (In case of VSX-821)
Connect the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs
of the unit and additional amplifier to add a surround back or
front height speaker.
The Pre Out setting must be set if the above connections are
performed. Select SURR.BACK if the surround back speaker
is connected and HEIGHT if the front height speaker is
connected (If neither the surround back speaker nor the front
height speaker is connected, either setting will suffice) (see
The Pre Out Setting (VSX-821 only) on page 42).
• You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back
channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case
plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

About the video converter
(VSX-826 only)
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output
from HDMI OUT terminal. The only exception is HDMI: since
this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect
your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI video outputs when
connecting this video source.
• If several video components are assigned to the same
input function, the converter gives priority to HDMI,
component, then composite (in that order).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try
adjusting the resolution settings on your component or
di sp la y. Not e t ha t s ome co mp on en ts ( su ch as vid eo ga me
units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this
case, try switching Video Converter OFF (see Video
Converter on page 41).
• The signal input resolutions that can be converted from
the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/
576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signal cannot be
converted.
About video outputs connection
(VSX-821 only)
This receiver is not loaded with a video converter. When you
use component video cables or HDMI cables for connecting
to the input device, the same cables should be used for

Connecting a TV and playback components
Connecting using HDMI
If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped
component (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.), you can connect it to
this receiver using a commercially available HDMI cable.
If the TV and playback components support the Control with
HDMI feature, the convenient Control with HDMI functions
can be used (see Control with HDMI function on page 43).
• The following connection/setting is required to listen to
the sound of the TV over this receiver.
—
If the TV does not support the HDMI Audio Return
Channel function, connect the receiver and TV with
audio cables (as shown).
—
If the TV supports the HDMI Audio Return Channel
function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via
the HDMI terminal, so there is no need to connect an
audio cable. In this case, set ARC at HDMI Setup to ON
(see HDMI Setup on page 43).
•VSX-821 only:
—
If the receiver is connected to a TV using an HDMI cable,
the on-screen display (OSD) will not be displayed. Be
sure to use a standard RCA analog video cable to
connect. In this case, switch the TV input to analog to
see the OSD screen (for setup, etc.) on the TV.
—
When the Control with HDMI function is ON and the
receiver is connected to a compatible TV with an HDMI
cable, and you switch the input of the TV to composite
or component, the input of the receiver may
automatically switch to TV/SAT. If this happens, switch
the receiver’s input back to the original input, or turn
OFF the Control with HDMI function (see HDMI Setup
on page 43).

Connecting your TV with no HDMI input
This diagram shows connections of a TV (with no HDMI
input) and DVD player (or other playback component) to the
receiver.
• With these connections, the picture is not output to the
TV even if the DVD player is connected with an HDMI
cable. Connect the DVD player’s video signals using a
composite or component cable.
• Connect using an HDMI cable to listen to HD audio on the
receiver. Do not use an HDMI cable to input video signals.
Depending on the video component, it may not be
possible to output signals connected by HDMI and other
methods simultaneously, and it may be necessary to
make output settings. Please refer to the operating
instructions supplied with your component for more
information.
• If both TV and player has a component video jacks, you
can connect these too. See Using the component video
jacks on page 20 for more on this.
• In order to listen to the audio from the DVD player that is
connected to this receiver using an optical cable or a
coaxial cable, first, switch to the DVD input, then press
SIGNAL SEL to choose the audio signal O2 (OPTICAL2) or
