D Doc Won Audiophyte Jun 12, 2009 1 0 0 Florida Jun 12, 2009 #1 Just bought a Yamaha RX-V665 which only has an RCA type connector for the center speaker. My center speaker is a Paradigm Reference Studio that has + and - connections. Is there any solution to connecting to the receiver? The center speaker matches my other Paradigm speakers. I had a Pioneer Elite receiver that did have + and - connctions for the center speaker. If only it would have had HDMI. Doc Won

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Jun 12, 2009 #2 Welcome to the forum, Doc Won! The RX-V665 has speaker terminals (the + and - connections) for a center channel. They are located on the back panel between the terminals for the front speakers and those for the surround speakers.
