! If there is a single surround back output, connect it to the SURR BACK L jack on this receiver.
! To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel, not the
surround back channel.
! The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Speaker
system setting on page 87.
! The audio signal input to MULTI CH IN cannot be downmixed.
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.

! If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 85) to
LARGE.
! 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 (SURROUND BACK L (Single)) terminal only.
! The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Speaker
system setting on page 87.
! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2
terminal. Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound
reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.
! 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.
