    OUTPUT terminals (for driving speakers with external amplifiers) MAIN CENTER (SURROUND) WOOFER OUTPUT MAIN OUTPUT terminals These terminals are for main channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier. However, if you drive main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
  • Page 13: Antenna Connections

    ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
