Connecting Additional Amplifiers

This amplifier has more than sufficient power for any home use, but it is possible to add additional amplifiers to every channel of your system. If you use additional amps for the front channels take out the U-shaped connectors (see p.32). Make the connections shown below to add amplifiers to power your speakers.

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
