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 40.

• 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 48) to
large.

MULTI-ZONE listening

This receiver can power up to three independent systems
in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-
ZONE connections. An example MULTI-ZONE setup is
shown below, but the number of MULTI-ZONE
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 zones at the
same time or, depending on your needs, the same source
can also be used (however, if iPod or HOME MEDIA
GALLERY (VSX-LX70 only) is selected in the main zone, it
cannot also be selected in the sub zone). The main and
sub zones have independent power (the main zone power
can be off while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and
the sub zones can be controlled by the remote or front
panel controls. However, you may need to specify the
volume settings in ZONE Audio Setup on page 66.

Making MULTI-ZONE connections

It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your primary (

ZONE 2) sub

zone, and a separate amplifier

1

(and speakers) for your

secondary (

ZONE 3) sub zone. You will also need a

separate amplifier if you are not using the Surround Back
System setup (see below) for your primary sub zone.
There are two primary sub zone setups possible with this
system. Choose whichever works best for you.

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