Connecting additional amplifiers
This receiver has more than enough power for any home
use, but it’s possible to add additional amplifiers to every
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 124.
• 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 124) 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,
connect external antennas (see
Connecting external
antennas
below).
1
Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna
wires.
2
Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into
each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM
antenna wires.
3
Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.
To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction
indicated by the arrow (
fig. a
) then clip the loop onto the
stand (
fig. b
).
• If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other
surface, secure the stand with screws (
fig. c
) before
clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the
reception is clear.
4
Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a
direction giving the best reception.
5
Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as
the AM loop antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a
wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.
