By a combination of “AV Pre-Amplifier CX-A5200” and “Power Amplifier MX-A5200”, you can build a
home theater system in a variety of ways. This guide explains four representative connection manners
for example.
• This guide explains connection examples only. For information on each terminal or required switch settings, refer to the instruction manual for
each device.
• Before making connections, remove the power cable of each device.
• You can connect the subwoofers to CX-A5200 using the balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) jacks.
