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 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.

Signals will only be output from the FRONT PRE OUT jacks when SPEAKER A is turned off with ZONE B selected for SP B SET (see page 57).

5 SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack

Connect a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, to this jack.

Notes

Each PRE OUT jack outputs the same channel signal as the corresponding speaker terminals. However, when both surround back and presence speakers are connected to this unit, the channel of the signals output from SURROUND BACK / PRESENCE PRE OUT jacks may not correspond to the location of the speakers connected through SURROUND BACK / PRESENCE PRE OUT jacks.

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 of this unit (see “Manually adjusting speaker levels” on page 45.).

Some signals may not be output from the SUBWOOFER jack depending on the SPEAKER SET (see page 49) and LFE LEVEL (see page 51) settings.
