Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System
Tips
• You can connect an active sub woofer to either of the two jacks. The remaining jack can be used to connect a
second active sub woofer. As the active sub woofer does not have the directivity, you can place it wherever you
want.
• To connect certain speakers to another power amplifier, use the PRE OUT jacks. The same signal is output from
both the SPEAKERS jacks and the PRE OUT jacks. For example, if you want to connect just the front speakers
to another amplifier, connect that amplifier to the PRE OUT FRONT L and R jacks.
7.1 channel speaker hookup
Connect the speakers as follows to enjoy 7.1 channel mode using real speakers for all 7.1 channels.
These connections require an additional power amplifier. Connect the additional power amplifier to
the PRE OUT SURR BACK terminals on this receiver. Then connect the surround back (L/R)
speakers to the additional amplifier. For details on the 7.1 channel mode, see page 28.
