PRE AMP mode

You can connect all speakers to an external power amplifier and use this unit as a preamplifier.

Using this unit as a preamplifier, you can perform up to 11.2-channel playback.

When the PRE AMP mode is used, the built-in power amplifier operation of this unit is stopped, and interference to the preamplifier from the power amplifier can be reduced.

To use this unit as a preamplifier, select “Amp Assign” and set “Assign Mode” to “PRE AMP” using steps 3 and 4 of “Set up “Amp Assign”” (vpage 63).

•When the PRE AMP mode is used, the MAIN ZONE audio is not output from the speaker terminals of this unit.

To use the speakers for multizone (ZONE2/ZONE3) in the PRE AMP mode, set “Amp Assign” – “Assign Sp.” to “ZONE2/3” (vpage 95). This setting will output the ZONE2 audio from the surround back speaker terminals and ZONE3 audio from the front wide speaker terminals.

•For connecting power amplifier and speaker systems, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the power amplifier to be used.
