■ Connecting an external amplifier

This unit has more than enough power for any home use.
However, if you want to add more power to the speaker
output or if you want to use another amplifier, connect an
external amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks. Each PRE OUT
jack outputs the same channel signals as the
corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.
Notes
• When you make connections to the PRE OUT jacks, do not
make any connections to the SPEAKERS terminals.
• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on
the subwoofer.
