functions such as speaker size

and distance from the listening

position should be copied from the Setup menus into the Setup menus of your multichannel source. Note however that speaker level trims are applied to the MCH input on the unit. Therefore speaker level trim settings on multichannel source equipment should be left unset at zero.

Analogue pre-amplifier outputs

All pre-amplifier analogue outputs are buffered, have a low output impedance, are at line level and follow the Zone 1 volume control setting. They are able to drive long cables or several inputs in parallel if required.

For more information on connecting speakers or additional power amplifiers, see page 18 and 47.

Connect the left and right outputs to the left and right input sockets of your cassette

deck, PVR or VCR (usually labelled ‘RECORD’). The PVR and VCR connectors may be used for a second and third cassette deck. These outputs are fixed at full line level.
