Connecting the DTR-8.4—Continued

Connecting a Power Amp

If you want to use the DTR-8.4 as a preamp and connect an external power amp, for example, a multichannel power amp that’s more powerful than the DTR-8.4’s built-in power amp, you can connect it to the PRE OUT outputs. In this case, you should connect all speakers and the subwoofer to the external power amp.

If you have a powered subwoofer, connect it to the DTR-8.4’s PRE OUT SUB output.
