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.

• 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.

1 FRONT PRE OUT jacks

Front channel line output jacks.

2 SURROUND PRE OUT jacks

Surround channel line output jacks.

3 SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack

Connect a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, such as the

YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System,

to this jack.

4 SURROUND BACK/PRESENCE PRE OUT

jacks

Surround back or presence channel line output jacks. If

you only connect one external amplifier for the surround

back channel, connect it to the left (L) jack.

5 CENTER PRE OUT jack

Center channel line output jack.

• Each PRE OUT jack outputs the same channel signal as the

corresponding speaker terminals. However, when both surround

back and presence speakers are setup in this unit, the signals

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).
