Selecting the speaker system
If you connect only one set of front speakers, set the
SPEAKERS selector on the front panel to A. If you
connect two sets of front speakers, see the following:
Selecting the impedance
Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR for the front speakers
as indicated in the table below. Check the instruction
manual of your speakers if you’re not sure of the
impedance. (This information is usually printed on a
label on the back of the speaker.)
z
To connect any speaker pair through an amplifier
Connect the amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks of the
receiver to output the PRE OUT jack signals from the
amplifier’s speaker terminals.
The signals output from the PRE OUT jacks are identical
to those output from the speaker terminals of the
receiver.
You can then connect any pair of speakers (e.g., the
front speakers) to the amplifier’s speaker terminals.
