Connecting additional amplifiers
This receiver has more than sufficient power for any home use, however it is possible to add
additional amplifiers to every channel on the VSX-D812 or the surround back channel of the VSX-
D712. Make the connections shown below to add amplifiers to power your speakers. Always
make sure that the receiver is switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet before making
or changing any connections.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
• To hear sound only from the pre-outs, disconnect any speakers that are connected directly
to the receiver.
