Pre Out Power Setup
It is possible to use a separate stereo pre-amp in conjunction with this amplifier. You might want to do this
if you need to connect more sources than this amplifier can accommodate, or if you prefer to use a
specific pre-amp for sound quality reasons.
You can connect sources to either this amplifier or to the external pre-amp (giving you a greater number of
input possibilities). For stereo sources connected directly to the external pre-amp, this amplifier acts as a
standard power amplifier. For digital sources connected to this amplifier, the amplifier acts as a digital
decoder/digital-to-analog converter and as a power amplifier.
1 Remove the U-shaped connectors that connect the PRE OUT jacks to the POWER IN jacks.
2 Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the PRE OUT jacks of this amplifier to a stereo input on the
pre-amp.
Use any input except phono.
3 Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the stereo pre out jacks of the pre-amp to the FRONT
POWER AMP IN jack of this amplifier.
