Subwoofer
Connecting a subwoofer
Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a subwoofer with
a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-in
amplifier, connect an amplifier to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack
and the subwoofer to the amplifier.
Connecting the remote zone speakers
The TX-DS696 allows you to connect another set of speakers and
place them in a different room or separated area for listening to
music. This other room or area is referred to as the remote zone
(Zone 2), while the room where the TX-DS696 is located is the main
zone. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections
for the remote zone.
Note:
It is important to be aware of the speaker impedance.
