Pre Out Power Setup

Using an separate stereo pre-amplifier

It is possible to use a separate stereo pre-amp in conjunction with this receiver. You might want to do this if you need to connect more sources than this receiver can accommodate.

You can connect sources to either this receiver or to the external pre-amp (giving you a greater number of input possibilities). For stereo sources connected directly to the external pre-amp, this receiver acts as a standard power amplifier. For digital sources connected to this receiver, the receiver acts as a digital decoder/digital-to-analog converter and as a power amplifier.

1Remove the U-shaped connectors that connect the FRONT PRE OUT jacks to the POWER AMP IN jacks.

2Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the FRONT PRE OUT jacks of this receiver to a stereo input on the pre-amp.

Use any input except phono.

3Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the stereo pre-out jack of the pre-amp to the POWER AMP IN jack of this receiver.

Using a separate power amplifier for main room stereo sound

An alternative multi room setup involves using a separate power amplifier to power a pair of stereo speakers in the main room, while using this receiver to power the sub-room speakers. You might want to do this if your power requirements for the main room are not met by this receiver.

1Connect the MULTI ROOM OUT jacks to the POWER AMP IN jacks (both on this receiver).

2Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the FRONT PRE OUT jacks of this receiver to the power amp’s inputs.

3Connect the sub room speakers to the FRONT A speaker outputs on this receiver.

4Connect the main room speakers to the speaker outputs on the power amp.
