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, do not make connections to the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals. Set the volume of the amplifier connected to this unit to the maximum.

The signals 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 72), signals will only be output from the FRONT PRE OUT jacks.

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 signals as the corresponding speaker terminals.

Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer. It is also possible to adjust the volume level using the remote control (see “Manually adjusting speaker levels” on page 60).

Some signals may not be output from the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack depending on the SPEAKER SET (see page 64) and LFE/BASS OUT (see page 65) settings.
