12USING THE BYPASS MODE WITH A SURROUND RECEIVER
USING THE P 7 BYPASS MODE WITH A 2 CHANNEL AMP
By using a 2 channel power amplifi er and your surround receiver you can dramatically upgrade the sound quality of your front L & R channels. Drive your Front L & R channels with the separate 2 channel power amplifi er while continuing to use your surround receiver to drive the Center and Surround speakers. In this case you’ll connect the surround receiver’s Front L, R and Sub preamp output jacks to the L, R & Sub jacks of the P 7’s Multichannel Inputs 9 or 10. The Main Outputs from the P 7 will connect to your power amplifi er. Your Front L & R speakers will connect directly to the new 2 channel power amplifi er instead of the L & R speaker terminals on your surround receiver. Your Center and Surround speakers will remain connected directly to the speaker termi- nals on your surround receiver. Connect your subwoofer to the Sub Out jack of the P 7.
Note: When the P 7’s Bypass mode is selected, its volume level is fixed and the balance, trims and tone controls are all disabled; these adjustments should be made on the digital surround receiver.
