Connecting Additional Amplifiers; Plugging In - Pioneer Elite VSX-37TX Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting Additional Amplifiers

To hook up surround back speakers you need to use an additional amplifier. Other than for that purpose this
receiver has more than sufficient power for any home use, but it is possible to add additional amplifiers to
every channel of your system. Make the connections shown below to add amplifiers to power your speakers.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.

You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channels for a single speaker as well. In
memo
this case plug the amplifier into the L (SINGLE) terminal only.

Plugging In

Up to three components can be powered from this receiver. Two of the outlets are switched, which means that
power is switched on and off with the receiver. The third is unswitched, which means that power is delivered so
long as the receiver is plugged in.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
After connecting all your components, plug the receiver's power cord into a standard wall power outlet.
