Pre-Power AV
The pre-amplifier section is internally connected to the power
amplifier. Thepre-amplifieroutputsare operational.
A powered subwoofer can be connected to the pre-amplifier
outputs
A second power amplifier can be connected for bi-amplifying as
showninthediagram.
An additional power amplifier can also be connected to drive a
secondpairofspeakersinaremote location.
All signals to and from the power amplifier of the 8000S are
disconnected. In this mode, the 8000S functions as a stand-alone
pre-amplifier.
The pre-amplifier section of the 8000S can be connected to a
stereopoweramplifier,ortotwomonoblocamplifiers.
The pre-amplifier and power amplifier sections operate
independently. This mode can be used to connect a multichannel
AVprocessor.
Theprocessor shouldbe connectedvia anyspare tapeoutputor,as

Low impedance (100 ohm) pre-amplifier outputs for driving

Standard Loudspeaker Connection
You can connect a speaker switching box or headphone adaptor to the unused set of speaker terminals
Loudspeaker bi-wiring offers improved sound quality because high and low frequency signals are carried
individually to the loudspeaker drive units.
