Connecting subwoofers

Connect the subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the PRE OUT jacks of the unit.
Select a balanced (XLR) or an unbalanced (RCA) connection depending on the input
jacks available on your subwoofer.
• The XLR jacks and RCA jacks output the same signals.
• You can also connect up to 2 subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit. When using 2 subwoofers,
configure the "Layout (Subwoofer)" setting (p.126) in the "Setup" menu after connecting the power cable to
an AC wall outlet.
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 subwoofer before making connections.
■
Balanced connection
Connect the subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the SUBWOOFER PREOUT (XLR)
1–2 jacks of the unit with XLR balanced cables.
• Before connecting XLR balanced cables, refer to the instruction manual of your subwoofer and verify that
its XLR jacks are compatible with the pin assignments of the unit (p.29).
