Pre Out Power Setup

It is possible to use a separate stereo pre-amp in conjunction with this amplifier. You might want to do this
if you need to connect more sources than this amplifier can accommodate, or if you prefer to use a
specific pre-amp for sound quality reasons.
You can connect sources to either this amplifier or to the external pre-amp (giving you a greater number of
input possibilities). For stereo sources connected directly to the external pre-amp, this amplifier acts as a
standard power amplifier. For digital sources connected to this amplifier, the amplifier acts as a digital
decoder/digital-to-analog converter and as a power amplifier.
1 Remove the U-shaped connectors that connect the PRE OUT jacks to the POWER IN jacks.
2 Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the PRE OUT jacks of this amplifier to a stereo input on the
pre-amp.
Use any input except phono.
3 Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the stereo pre out jacks of the pre-amp to the FRONT
POWER AMP IN jack of this amplifier.
The PIONEER SR System: Operating other PIONEER
components
Connecting an optional control cord allows you to operate other PIONEER components simply by pointing the
amplifier's remote control at the remote sensor on the front panel of this amplifier. The amplifier then sends the
remote control signals to the other devices via the CONTROL OUT terminal.
• You can also control PIONEER components (and those made by other manufacturers) by pointing the
memo
amplifier's remote control directly at the respective component. This type of operation does not re-
quire control cords. All you have to do is recall the appropriate stored settings (see p.66 & 67).
• If you use a remote control hooked up via the CONTROL IN jack with a control cord, you won't be able
to use this unit's remote control.
• If you use this feature make sure an analog (audio and/or video) connection has been made between
the amplifier and the component(s).
