PRE OUT: FRONT L/R, CENTER,
SUBWOOFER, SURR L/R, and SURR BACK
L/R
This 5.1/7.1 multichannel analog audio output can
be connected to the analog audio input on a multi-
channel power amplifier for when you want to use
the AV receiver solely as a preamplifier. The SUB-
WOOFER jack is for connecting a powered sub-
woofer.
PRE OUT: ZONE 2 L/R
This analog audio output can be connected to a line
input on an integrated amplifier in Zone 2. See
“Connecting Zone 2” on page 114.
REMOTE CONTROL
This (Remote Interactive) jack can be con-
nected to an jack on another -capable Inte-
gra/Onkyo component. The AV receiver’s remote
controller can then be used to control that compo-
nent. To use , you must make an analog audio
connection (RCA) between the AV receiver and the
other AV component, even if they are connected
digitally.
IR IN A/B and OUT
A commercially available IR receiver can be con-
nected to the IR IN A or B jack, allowing you to
control the AV receiver while you’re in Zone 2, or
control it when it’s out of sight, for example,
installed in a cabinet.
A commercially available IR emitter can be con-
nected to the IR OUT jack to pass IR (infrared)
remote control signals through to other components.
12V TRIGGER OUT (A/B/C)
This output can be connected to the 12-volt trigger
input on a component in Zone 2. When Zone 2 is
turned on on the AV receiver, a 12-volt trigger sig-
nal is output.
ETHERNET
This port is for connecting the AV receiver to home
automation equipment and external controllers.
RS232
This is the RS232 port.
FRONT L/R, CENTER, SURR L/R, and SURR
BACK L/R speakers
These terminal posts are for connecting the front
L/R, center, surround L/R, and surround back L/R
speakers.
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal
posts can be used with front speakers and surround
back speakers respectively, or used to bi-amp the
front speakers. See “Bi-amping the Front Speakers”
on page 18”.
cr ZONE 2 L/R speakers
These terminals are for connecting speakers in
Zone 2. See “Connecting Zone 2” on page 114.
See pages 15-38 for connection information.
