If an external AM antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND terminals in accordance with the instructions supplied with the antenna. ™ FM Antenna: Connect the supplied indoor or an optional external FM antenna to this terminal. £ Tape Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT jacks of an audio recorder. ¢ Front Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + or - terminals on your left and right speakers. When making speaker connections always make certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting the color-coded (white for front left and red for front right) (+) terminals on the AVR 8000 to the red (+) terminals on the speakers and the black (-) terminals on the AVR 8000 to the black (-) terminals on the speakers. See page 15 for more information on speaker polarity. ∞ Surround Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and - terminals on your surround channel speakers. In conformance with the new CEA color code specification, the Blue terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Left speaker with older color coding, while the Gray terminal should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Right speaker with the older color coding. Connect the black (-) terminal on the AVR to the matching black negative (-) terminals for each surround speaker. (See page 15 for more information on speaker polarity.) § Subwoofer Output: Connect this jack to the line-level input of a powered subwoofer. If an external subwoofer amplifier is used, connect this jack to the subwoofer amplifier input. ¶ Amplifier Inputs: When the jumper pins that link the Preamp Outputs • with these inputs are removed, these jacks may be used to connect an external source or the AVR 8000's multiroom system to the internal amplifiers. • Main Channel Preamp Outputs: When the jumper pins that link the Amplifier Inputs ¶ with these outputs are removed, these jacks may be connected to an external power amplifier. ª CD Inputs: Connect these jacks to the output of a compact disc player or CD changer. 8 REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
