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.
• Before making or changing the connections, switch
off the power and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.
• 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 35.
• 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 40) to
LARGE
.
Using this receiver with a Pioneer
plasma display
If you have a Pioneer plasma display, you can use an
SR+ cable
1
to connect it to this unit and take advantage
of various convenient features, such as automatic video
input switching of the plasma display when the input is
changed.

Important
• If you connect to a Pioneer plasma display using an
SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control
at the plasma display remote sensor to control the
receiver. In this case, you won’t be able to control the
receiver using the remote control if you switch the
plasma display off.
• Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you need
to make a few settings in the receiver. See
The Input
Assign menu
on page 52 and
SR+ Setup for Pioneer
plasma displays
on page 54 for detailed instructions.
