8 Pre-amplifier output/power amplifier input
When using this receiver as an integrated amplifier, leave
the pre-amp outputs connected to the power amp inputs
with the supplied U-shaped connectors. Removing these
connectors allows you to use this unit as a pre-amplifier
or power amplifier only, or to integrate another amplifier
into your setup for more inputs. See Using the pre-outs on
page 82 for connection details.
9 Multichannel pre-amplifier outputs
Multichannel pre-amp outputs that you can use to
connect separate amplifiers for center, surround,
surround back and subwoofer channels. See Using the
pre-outs on page 82 for connection details.
10 Control input/output

When making cable connections
Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends
the cables over the top of this unit. If the cables are laid
on top of the unit, the magnetic field produced by the
transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise to
come from the speakers.
• When connecting optical cables, be careful when
inserting the plug not to damage the shutter
protecting the optical socket.
• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable
may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
