Getting Started
4 Connect the second amplifier to SURROUND
OUT CENTER, and connect the center speaker to
this amplifier.
The center signal is output from the SURROUND
OUT CENTER terminal.
5 Remove the cover on the POWER SWAP selector
and set the selector to the SWAP position.
After you have completed the setting, reattach the
cover to the selector and plug in the power cord.
To adjust the volume
Set the volume control of the separate amplifiers to the
maximum position and adjust the volume level with the
volume control of the receiver.
Notes
For best results, we recommend using a pair of equivalent
amplifiers to boost front and center speaker output. You
can, however, connect the center speakers to the CENTER
SPEAKER terminals if you only have one additional
amplifier.
Do not use the terminals labeled CENTER SPEAKER or
REAR SPEAKERS if you connect two additional
amplifiers. Make connections as shown above.
If you want to turn off the power swap function, set the
POWER SWAP selector to the NORMAL position.
Where do I go next?
