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.

Subwoofer outputs

Connect each of these outputs to the LFE input(s) on your subwoofer(s).The Subwoofer 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, see page 23.

Front panel PHONES socket

This socket accepts headphones with an impedance rating between 32Ω and 600Ω, fitted with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug. The headphone socket is always active, except when AVR500 is muted.

When the headphone jack is inserted, the speaker outputs and analogue pre-amplifier outputs are automatically muted.
