channel of your system using the pre-outs. Make the
connections shown below to add amplifiers to power
your speakers.
Important
• Before making or changing the connections, switch
off the power and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.

AUDIO
• You can use the additional amplifier on the surround
back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In
this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single))
terminal only.
• The sound from the surround back terminals will
depend on how you have configured the Surround
back speaker setting on page 40.
• To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the
speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any
speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.
• If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front
speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 46) to
large.
