Connecting the power amplifier and subwoofers

Connecting a power amplifier

Connect the input jacks of your power amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks of the unit so that
the audio source selected on the unit can be output to the power amplifier for playback.
Select a balanced (XLR) or an unbalanced (RCA) connection for each channel
depending on the input jacks available on your power amplifier.
• The XLR jacks and RCA jacks for each channel output the same signals.
Caution
• To prevent the generation of loud noises or abnormal sounds, make sure you remove the power cable
of the unit and turn off the power amplifier before making connections.
■
Balanced connection
Depending on the speaker system you want to use, connect the corresponding PRE
OUT (XLR) jacks of the unit to the amplifier with XLR balanced cables.
• Before connecting XLR balanced cables, refer to the instruction manual of your power amplifier and verify
that its XLR jacks are compatible with the pin assignments of the unit (p.29).
• We recommend using a power amplifier with volume control bypass (or without volume control circuit).
