Connecting To An External Amplifier - Yamaha RX-V2500 Owner's Manual

CONNECTIONS

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 through the FRONT PRE OUT and CENTER
PRE OUT jacks are affected by the TONE CONTROL settings.
• If SPEAKERS A is turned off and Multi Zone: Speaker B is set
to "Zone B" (see page 66), signals will only be output from the
FRONT PRE OUT jacks.

output from SURROUND BACK/PRESENCE PRE OUT jacks
may not correspond to the correct speakers.
• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on
the subwoofer.
• Some signals may not be output from the SUBWOOFER PRE
OUT jack depending on the Speaker Set settings (see page 61).
