Connections
Using the jacks
PRE OUT
connections may be made to external
power amplifiers. To make these
connections, remove the jumpers between
and
PRE-OUT MAIN IN
them for future use. Connect the
of the channels to be connected to
OUT
external amplifiers to that amplifier's
inputs. Volume will still be controlled by
this receiver.
When an external amplifier is used for
the front channels, this receiver's rear
channel outputs and one passive (non-
powered) subwoofer may be connected to
this unit's internal amplifier for higher
power output. To make these
connections, follow the diagrams on this
page. Using short RCA to RCA jumpers,
connect the left and right
jacks to the left and right
OUT
jacks. A subwoofer may be
MAIN IN
connected by connecting the
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT

If these connections are used, changes
must be made to the speaker outputs.

speakers to the speaker terminals labeled

are used, the center channel speakers
should receive at least as much amplifier
power as the front left and right speakers.
