mTo drive main, center and/or rear speakers with external amplifiers

The speaker connections described on page 20 are fine for most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to drive main, center and/or rear speakers with your existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.

1MAIN terminals

These terminals are for main channel line output.

If you drive main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.

There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

*Output signals from the MAIN terminals are affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls, BASS EXTENSION button and the TONE BYPASS button.

3CENTER terminal

This terminal is for center channel line output.

If you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal.

There is no connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier.

4REAR (SURROUND) terminals

These terminals are for rear channel line output.

If you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.

There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

Notes

•Output level of signals from all of these terminals are adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel or VOLUME keys on the remote controller.

•If an external power amplifier is connected to the MAIN, CENTER, or REAR output terminals, do not use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals (MAIN, CENTER, or REAR).

2SUBWOOFER terminal

When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to this terminal. Low frequencies distributed from the main, center and/or rear channels are output from this terminal. (The cut-off frequency of this terminal is 90 Hz.) Signals of LFE (low frequency effect) generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also output if they are assigned to this terminal.
