Connecting an external amplifier

This unit has more than enough power for any home use. However, if you want to add more power to the speaker output or if you want to use another amplifier, connect an external amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks.

Notes

When you make connections to the PRE OUT jacks, do not make connections to the SPEAKERS terminals.

The signals output at the FRONT PRE OUT and CENTER PRE OUT jacks are affected by the TONE CONTROL settings (see page 52).

Each PRE OUT jack outputs the same channel signals as the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.

Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer (see page 53).

Some signals may not be output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack depending on the settings for “Speaker Set” (see page 105) and “Bass Out” (see page 107).
