channel of your system using the pre-outs. Make the
connections shown below to add amplifiers to power
your speakers.

• You can use the additional amplifier on the surround
back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In
this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single))
terminal only.
• The sound from the surround back terminals will
depend on how you have configured the Surround
back speaker setting on page 109.
• To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the
speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any
speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.
If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker
setting (see Speaker Setting on page 109) to LARGE.

Connecting AM/FM antennas

Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna
as shown below. To improve reception and sound quality,
