Connecting Additional Amplifiers
To hook up surround back speakers you need to use an additional amplifier (this is not possible with the VSX-
839RDS). Other than for that purpose this receiver has more than sufficient power for any home use, but it is
possible to add additional amplifiers to every channel of your system. 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
wall outlet.
Plugging In (Except for the U.K. model)
Two components can be powered from this receiver. These outlets are switched, which means that power is
switched on and off with the receiver.
After connecting all your components, plug the receiver's power cord into a standard wall power outlet.
Caution!
Power consumption of any equipment con-
nected to the switched power outlets should
not exceed 100W.
To avoid overheating, fire risk and possible
malfunction, do not connect high-wattage
appliances such as heaters, irons, monitors or
TV sets to this units AC outlets.
Disconnect the receiver from the power outlet
when it's not in regular use, for example,
when on vacation.
