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.
• Before making or changing the connections, switch
off the power and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.
• 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 (L (Single))
terminal only.
• The sound from the surround back terminals will
depend on how you have configured the Surround
back speaker setting on page 41.
• 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.
• If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front
speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 48) to
LARGE.
MULTI-ZONE listening
This receiver can power up to two independent systems
in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-
ZONE connections. An example MULTI-ZONE setup is
shown below.
Different sources can be playing in two zones at the same
time or, depending on your needs, the same source can
also be used. The main and sub zones have independent
power (the main zone power can be off while the sub zone
is on) and the sub zone can be controlled by the remote
or front panel controls. However, you may need to specify
the volume settings in ZONE Audio Setup on page 67.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your sub zone (ZONE 2).

You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not
using the Surround Back System setup (page 58) for your
sub zone.
