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 36.
• 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 43) to
large.
Multi-room listening
This receiver can power up to three independent systems
in separate rooms after you have made the proper multi-
room connections. An example multi-room setup is
shown below, but the number of multi-room connections
(and the way you choose to connect them) depends on
how you want to set up your system.
Different sources can be playing in three rooms at the
same time or, depending on your needs, the same source
can also be used (however, if iPod or XM Radio is
selected in the main room, it cannot also be selected in
the sub room). The main and sub rooms have
independent power (the main room power can be off
while one (or both) of the sub rooms is on) and the sub
rooms can be controlled by the remote or front panel
controls. However, you may need to specify the volume
settings in
Multi-Room Setup
on page 65.
Making multi-room connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your primary (
ROOM 2
) sub
room, and a separate amplifier
1
(and speakers) for your
secondary (
ROOM 3
) sub room. You will also need a
separate amplifier if you are not using the Surround Back
System setup (see below) for your primary sub room.
There are two primary sub room setups possible with this
system. Choose whichever works best for you.

Note

can, however, use the features available with your sub room amplifier.
