Connecting To An External Amplifier - Yamaha RX-V4600 Owner's Manual

■ Connecting to an external amplifier

If you want to increase the power output to the speakers,
or want to use another amplifier, connect an external
amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks as follows.
Notes
• When audio pin plugs are connected to the PRE OUT jacks for
output to an external amplifier, it is not necessary to use the
corresponding SPEAKERS terminals. Set the volume of the
external amplifier connected to this unit to the maximum.
• The signal output at the FRONT PRE OUT and CENTER PRE
OUT jacks are affected by the TONE CONTROL settings.
• If SPEAKERS A is turned off and SPEAKERS B is set to
"Zone B" (see page 68), signals will only be output at the
FRONT PRE OUT jacks.
