CONNECTIONS

■Connecting external power amplifiers

If you want to increase the power output to the speakers, or want to use another power amplifier, connect an external amplifier to the pre out jacks.

Notes

•When RCA pin plugs are connected to the pre out jacks for output to an external amplifier, it is not necessary to use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals. Set the volume of the amplifier connected to this unit to the maximum.

•The signal output through the FRONT OUT, CENTER OUT and SUBWOOFER jacks is affected by the TONE CONTROL settings.

•Signals will only be output from the FRONT OUT jacks if SPEAKERS B is set to “ZONE B” (see page 77) and SPEAKERS A is turned off (see page 77).

Connect one or two subwoofer(s) with built-in amplifier, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, to these jacks.

Notes

•Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer. It is also possible to adjust the volume level using this unit’s remote control (see page 69).

•Some signals may not be output from the SUBWOOFER jack depending on the Speaker Set (see page 67) and LFE Level (see page 63) settings.

■Connecting external preamplifiers

If you want to input signals from another preamplifier, connect the external preamplifier to the FRONT IN/ CENTER IN jacks.

1 FRONT IN jacks

Line input to this unit’s front channel amplifiers. When connecting to these jacks, signals input to this unit’s preamplifier will not be output from the unit’s front amplifier.

2 CENTER IN jack

Line input to this unit’s center channel amplifier. When connecting to this jack, signals input to this unit’s preamplifier will not be output from the unit’s center amplifier.

■Connecting i.LINK components

If you have a component with an i.LINK connector, you can enjoy digital audio from CD, DVD, Super Audio CD or DVD-A discs.
