Caution

• Make sure you use a parallel (not series,

which are fairly uncommon) connection

when bi-wiring your speakers.

• Don't connect different speakers from the

same terminal in this way.

Connecting additional amplifiers

This receiver has more than enough power for

any home use, but it’s possible to add

additional amplifiers to every channel of your

system using the pre-outs. Make the

connections shown below to add amplifiers to

power your speakers.

1

• Before making or changing the

connections, switch off the power and

disconnect the power cord from the AC

outlet.

Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display

If you have a Pioneer plasma display

2

, you can

use an SR+ cable to connect it to this unit and

take advantage of various convenient features,

such as automatic video input switching of the

plasma display when the input is changed.

Note
1• 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 you hear from the surround back terminals depends on the
Surround back speaker setting
on page 34.
• To hear sound only from the pre-outs, 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 40) to large.
