A and B speaker systems
VSX-D714/D814 only 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. If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel () terminal (see illustration on page 11). If you select subwoofer (SB SW) in the Surround back speaker setting on page 46 you can hook up a subwoofer instead of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals. Connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel () terminal (see illustration on page 11). The receiver has two speaker systems: A and B. A is the main system supporting the full speaker setup. If you switch on both A and B speaker systems, only the front speakers and the (active) subwoofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center, surround, or surround back speakers, but multichannel sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if you choose just the B system youll only hear the front speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources will be downmixed to these two speakers. Press the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to switch between speaker systems (A, B or both).
Hints on speaker placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers (following), but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them. Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV. When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV.

Each press cycles through the options as follows: SB CH AUTO Automatically switches to 6.1 decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES) SB CH ON 6.1 encoding is always used (for example, on 5.1 encoded material) SB CH OFF Surround back channel is switched off

Manually calibrating your listening area (MCACC)
VSX-D714/D814 only You can use the Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system to fine tune your speaker levels and channel delay. These are calibrated according to the distance from your left front speaker to the listening position. You will hear a series of test tones that will allow you to set the speaker levels and channel delay to your liking. The advantage of doing this is that you can achieve an overall balance defined by the front speakers (the main speakers for home theater).

MCACC SETUP

Press RECEIVER.
2 Press MCACC SETUP. The MCACC system uses the left front speaker as a reference point to calibrate the speaker level and channel delay. The front left speaker tone and the target speaker (the one that youre trying to adjust) tone will sound in turns, so you can judge which needs to be louder. 3 Use and to adjust each channel level in turn, pressing ENTER to go to the next channel when youre done.

Using the tuner

Chapter 7:

Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the frequency of the station you want, see Tuning directly to a station below. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for recall latersee Saving station presets on page 57 for more on how to do this. Automatic tuning To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold TUNE +/ for about a second. The receiver will start searching for the next station, stopping when it has found one. Repeat to search for other stations. Manual tuning To change the frequency one step at a time, press TUNE +/. High speed tuning Press and hold TUNE +/ for high speed tuning. Release the button at the frequency you want.
Improving FM stereo sound
If the TUNED or STEREO indicators don't light when tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press the MPX button to switch the receiver into mono reception mode. This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.
Tuning directly to a station
Sometimes, you'll already know the frequency of the station you want to listen to. In this case, you can simply enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on the remote control. 1 Press the TUNER button to select the tuner. 2 Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary. Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
1 Press the TUNER button to select the tuner. 2 Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary. Each press switches the band between FM and AM. 3 Tune to a station. There are three ways to do this:
