Note:

If you select “2ch (PRE OUT)” at the “1. Hardware Config” menu

→“ b. Surr Back” and use the PRE OUT terminals for 7.1ch sound, connect the speakers to the power amplifier connected to the PRE OUT terminals without connecting any speakers to the Surround Back Speaker terminals on the TX-SR701/701E. Using the surround back terminals on both the TX-SR701/701E and power amplifier will not produce correct surround sound effect (see page 55).

Connecting a subwoofer

Use the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to connect a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built- in amplifier, connect an amplifier to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack and the subwoofer to the amplifier.

Connecting the surround back speakers (TX-SR701/701E only)

If you connect the surround back speakers to the power amplifier connected to the SURR BACK PRE OUT terminals on the TX- SR701/701E for 7.1ch sound playback, do not connect the surround back speakers to the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER terminals on the TX-SR701/701E. Connecting the surround back speakers to both the TX-SR701/701E and power amplifier will not produce correct surround sound effect.
