7.1 Preamp out

If it is desired to connect external power amplifiers, use Phono/RCA leads connected to the 7.1 Preamp Outputs on the rear panel.

For 5.1/6.1/7.1 use set the ‘Preamp Out’ setting in the ‘Output Setup’ OSD menu to 'Pre Out' rather than 'Normal'. This mutes all the internal power amplifiers as they are not being used.

Alternatively the 650R features an External 2-Channel mode. This allows the 650R to reproduce all the surround channels of suitable source material (Centre, Surrounds and Sub) whilst the Left and Right Front speakers are driven by an external power amplifier or other amplifier capable of supporting fixed level inputs (e.g. Cambridge Audio’s own 740A or 840A amplifiers).

Aerial connections

FM aerial

Connect an aerial to the FM 75 ohm socket (a simple wire aerial is supplied only for temporary use). Extend the lead and move the aerial around until you get the best reception. For continued use, we strongly recommended using a 75ohm outdoor FM aerial.
