Note

1• 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.

•The sound you hear from the surround back terminals depends on the Surround back speaker setting on page 36.

•To hear sound only from the pre-outs, simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.

•If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 42) to large.

2This receiver is compatible with all Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward.
