Accuphase E-213 Instruction Manual page 11

Playback With an External Preamplifier
You can set the EXT PRE selector to ON to separate the preamplifier and power amplifier of the E-213, and use an external preamplifier
or A/V amplifier with the power amplifier of the E-213. An example of such a connection is shown below.
RCAUTION:
m Connect the output of the external preamplifier to the POWER IN jacks of the E-213.
m Only the power amplifier of the E-213 is used in this case. The preamplifier is inactive. Input source
switching, volume adjustment, and other preamplifier functions must be performed at the external equipment.
NOTE:
Source component
Be sure to turn power to all components off before making
connections.
If you set the EXT PRE selector to OFF,
the E-213 will operate normally (using
the internal preamplifier).
