•You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

•The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 38.

•To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.

•If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 44) to large.

Important

•If you connect to a Pioneer plasma display using an SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control at the plasma display remote sensor to control the receiver. In this case, you won’t be able to control the receiver using the remote control if you switch the plasma display off.

Note

•This receiver is compatible with all Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward.
