CONNECTIONS
Connecting to an External
Amplifier
If you want to increase the power output to the speakers,
or want to use another amplifier, connect an external
amplifier to the PRE OUT/MAIN IN jacks as follows.
Notes
• When RCA pin plugs are connected to the PRE OUT/MAIN
IN jacks for output to an external amplifier, it is not necessary
to use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals. Set the volume
of the amplifier connected to this unit to the maximum.
• No signals will be output from any other PRE OUT jacks than
the MAIN jacks when SPEAKER A is turned off with ZONE B
selected for “1H SP B SET” on the SET MENU.
1 FRONT EFFECT jacks
Front effect channel line output jacks.
2 REAR (SURROUND) jacks
Rear channel line output jacks.
3 SUBWOOFER jacks
When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including
the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System, connect the input jack of the subwoofer system
to this jack. Low bass signals distributed from the main,
center and/or rear channels are directed to this jack if they
are assigned to this jack. (The cut-off frequency of this
jack is 90 Hz.) The LFE (low-frequency effect) signals
generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also
directed if they are assigned to this jack.
Notes
• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on
the subwoofer. It is also possible to adjust the volume level by
using the remote control of this unit (see “ADJUSTING THE
LEVEL OF THE EFFECT SPEAKERS” on page 67).
• Depending on the settings of “1 SPEAKER SET” and “10 LFE
LEVEL” on the SET MENU, some signals may not be output
from the SUBWOOFER jack.
Connecting to the 6CH INPUT
Jacks
This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left
and right MAIN, CENTER, left and right SURROUND
and SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from
an external decoder, sound processor or pre-amplifier.
Connect the output jacks on your external decoder to the
6CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right
outputs to the left and right input jacks for the main and
surround channels.
Notes
• When 6CH INPUT is selected, the signals input to the 6CH
INPUT jacks have priority over any other input source.
• When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, this unit
automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and
you cannot listen to DSP programs.
• When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, settings of
“1 SPEAKER SET (1A to 1E)” on the SET MENU do not
apply.
• When headphones are used, only main L/R channels are
output. The setting for “6CH INPUT SET” on the SET MENU
will not be applied.
• Setting for “15 6CH INPUT SET” on the SET MENU will be
applied when 6CH INPUT is selected.
