CONNECTIONS

■Connecting to 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 through the FRONT PRE OUT and CENTER PRE OUT jacks are affected by the TONE CONTROL settings.

•If SPEAKERS A is turned off and SP B is set to ZONE B (see page 67), signals will only be output from 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 from 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. It is also possible to adjust the volume level by using the remote control (see “Manually adjusting speaker levels” on page 54).

•Some signals may not be output from the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack depending on the SPEAKER SET (see page 58) and LFE/BASS OUT (see page 59) settings.
