Turntable
!
If your turntable has line-level outputs (i.e., it has a built-in phono pre-amp), connect it to the
ANALOG IN 1
(CD)
inputs instead.
!
You can’t hear HDMI audio through this receiver’s digital out jack.
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.

!
If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see
Speaker Setting
on
page 103
) to
LARGE
.
!
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 (
SURROUND BACK L (Single)
) terminal only.
!
The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the
Speaker system set-
ting
on
page 106
.
!
If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the
SUBWOOFER 2
terminal.
Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction.
!
To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker terminals to
SP:
OFF
(
page 85
) or simply discon-
nect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.
It is also possible to hear sound only from the pre-outs by switching the
AMP
setting to
OFF
and setting the
pre-amp mode to turn the power amplifiers for all channels off (see
Setting the Audio options
on
page 81
).
