CONNECTIONS

■Connecting an external amplifier

If you want to increase the power output to the speakers, or want to use another amplifier, connect an external amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks as follows.

Notes

•When audio 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 external amplifier connected to this unit to the maximum.

•The signal output at the FRONT PRE OUT and CENTER PRE OUT jacks are affected by the TONE CONTROL settings.

•If SPEAKERS A is turned off and SPEAKERS B is set to ZONE B (see page 85), signals will only be output at the FRONT PRE OUT jacks.

Notes

•Each PRE OUT jack outputs the same channel signal as the corresponding speaker terminals. However, when both surround back and presence speakers are setup in this unit, the signals output at SURROUND BACK/PRESENCE PRE OUT jacks may not correspond to the correct speakers.

•Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer.

•Some signals may not be output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack depending on the SPEAKER SET settings (see page 76).
