Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting Additional Amplifiers

Although the VSX-29TX has more than sufficient power for any home use, it is possible to add additional amplifiers to your system. If you want to use separate amplifiers to power your speakers, make the connections shown below. When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet for all the equipment.
