You can also use two subwoofers by connecting them to both SUBWOOFER1

Connecting an external amplifier

The same channel signals are output from the jacks of the PRE
OUT and ZONE OUT terminals as from their corresponding
SPEAKERS terminals. When connecting an external power
amplifier (pre-main amplifier) to enhance speaker output, connect
the input terminals of the power amplifier to the PRE OUT and
ZONE OUT terminals of this unit.
PR
NOTES
• When a component is connected to the PRE OUT and ZONE
OUT terminals, do not connect speakers to the SPEAKERS
terminals corresponding to those PRE OUT and ZONE OUT
terminals.
• When an external amplifier equipped with a volume adjustment
function is connected, a sufficient volume level may not be
achieved.
Use of the following components is recommended.
– An amplifier with no volume adjustment function.
– An integrated amplifier equipped with a function that bypasses
volume circuitry, such as the Yamaha A-S2000 with MAIN IN
input.
