03 Connecting your equipment 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. FRONT 1 SUBWOOFER PRE OUT 2 SURROUND SURR BACK FH / FW (Single) L R CENTER FRONT 1 SUBWOOFER PRE OUT 2 SURROUND SURR BACK FH / FW (Single) L R CENTER ANALOG INPUT L R ANALOG INPUT ANALOG INPUT L R ANALOG INPUT L R ANALOG INPUT L R ANALOG INPUT Front channel amplifier Center channel amplifier (mono) Surround channel amplifier Front height or Front wide channel amplifier Surround back channel amplifier Powered subwoofer 2 ANALOG INPUT Powered subwoofer 1 ! If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 81) to LARGE. ! 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 (SURROUND BACK L (Single)) terminal only. ! The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Speaker system set- ting on page 85. ! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers. ! To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker terminals to SP: OFF (page 67) or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver. Connecting AM/FM antennas Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna as shown below. To improve reception and sound quality, connect external antennas (see Connecting external antennas on page 31). a b c 3 4 1 2 ANTENNA 5 AM LOOP FM UNBAL 75 ANTENNA AM LOOP FM UNBAL 75 1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires. 2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires. 3 Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand. To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the stand (fig. b). ! If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. c) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear. 4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a direction giving the best reception. 5 Connect the FM wire antenna into the FM antenna socket. For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don't drape loosely or leave coiled up. 30
