!
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.
Connecting additional amplifiers
This receiver has more than enough power for any home use, but it’s possible to add additional amplifiers to the
subwoofer channel of your system using the pre-outs. With the VSX-1123, an amplifier can also be added to the
front channel. To add amplifiers, connect as described below.

!
If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see
Speaker Setting
on
page 80
) to
LARGE
.
!
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. In this
case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.
!
To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker terminals to
SP:
OFF
(
page 66
) or simply disconnect
any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.
