This receiver provides you with many connec-
tion possibilities, but it doesn't have to be dif-
ficult. This chapter explains the kinds of compo-
nents you can connect to make up your home
theater system.
CAUTION
Before making or changing the connections,
switch off the power and disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet. Plugging in should

nections for the VSX-921 are the same except
where noted.
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).
It is also possible to only connect one of the
surround back speakers (SB) or neither.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.
Important
The Speaker System setting must be made if
you use any of the connections shown below
other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on
Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).
