Tip
To connect certain speakers to another power
amplifier, use the PRE OUT jacks. The same signal is
output from both the SPEAKERS jacks and the PRE
OUT jacks. For example, if you want to connect just
the front speakers to another amplifier, connect that
amplifier to the PRE OUT FRONT L and R jacks.
3RD ZONE hookup
You can use the surround back speakers as right
and left speakers in the 3rd zone (see page 52).
Make sure to connect correctly as indicated on
the rear panel.
Tip
When outputting the sound in the 3rd zone, the source
signal for the 3rd zone is output from PRE OUT SURR
BACK jacks.
Speaker impedance
To enjoy the best possible multi channel
surround, connect speakers with a nominal
impedance of 8 ohms or higher to the FRONT,
CENTER, SURROUND and SURROUND
BACK terminals, and set the IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR to “8
Ω”. Use the screwdriver to set
the impedance selector to the correct position.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with
your speakers if you are not sure of their
impedance. (This information is often on the
back of the speaker.)
Alternatively, you may connect speakers with
nominal impedances between 4 and 8 ohms to
any or all of the speaker terminals. However, be
sure to set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to
“4
Ω” if you connect even one speaker with
nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
Note
Be sure to turn the power off before adjusting the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.
