■Connecting external amplifiers
This unit has more than enough power for any home use. However, if you want to use external amplifiers, connect the external amplifiers to the PRE OUT jacks. Each PRE OUT jack outputs the same channel signals as the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.
y
Use the external amplifiers in the following cases:
–when you want to add more power to the speaker output
–when you want to use another amplifier for your presence of sounds
–when you want to enjoy the
If you want use the external amplifiers for the all channels in the main zone, set “PREAMP MODE” to “ON” in the advanced setup (see page 120). When “PREAMP MODE” is set to “ON”, the power consumption is reduced.

Connections
Notes
•When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 50), this unit automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.
•The audio signals input at the CENTER and SUBWOOFER MULTI CH INPUT jacks are mixed down to the left and right headphone channels.
•This unit redirects the audio signals input at the CENTER and/or SUBWOOFER MULTI CH INPUT jacks to the front left and right speaker channels when you set “Center” and/or “Configuration” in “Speaker Set” to “None” (see page 84). We recommend that you connect at least a 5.1- channel speaker system before using this feature.
