The pre-amplifier outputs are operational. A second power amplifier can be connected for
bi-amplifying as shown in the diagram. An additional power amplifier can also be connected
to drive a second pair of speakers.
Operating Modes
Although 8300A is an integrated amplifier, it can function as a separate pre-
amplifier and power amplifier. Rotate the MODE knob on the front panel to select
different operating modes.
NOTE: When switching modes, the making and breaking of connections may
momentarily operate the muting function on the 8300A.
Integrated mode
The pre-amplifier section is internally connected to the power amplifier. Pre-Amp
outputs are not operational. External subwoofers, processors, or amplifiers will not
receive any signal.
