The SPA23 can directly drive the five loudspeakers
in a surround system. In addition it provides line-
level outputs for seven full-frequency channels and
one subwoofer.
If your surround system does not include a full set
of speakers, the SPA23 will distribute the signals
from these channels to the other channels as
appropriate in your system.
•
Connect the front, centre, and surround
loudspeaker outputs to the loudspeakers in
your system.
If your system includes both side surround and
back surround speakers:
•
Reassign the LEFT and RIGHT FRONT
channels to the additional surrounds,
and use the analogue FRONT LEFT and
RIGHT outputs to connect to an additional
A34.2 stereo power amplifier; see
AUDIO
SETTINGS, page 9.
If your system includes a subwoofer:
•
Connect the SUB analog output to the audio
input of the subwoofer.
