Pre Out Power Setup Using Other Functions Using an separate stereo pre-amplifier It is possible to use a separate stereo pre-amp in conjunction with this receiver. You might want to do this if you need to connect more sources than this receiver can accommodate, or if you prefer to use a specific pre-amp for sound quality reasons. You can connect sources to either this receiver or to the external pre-amp (giving you a greater number of input possibilities). For stereo sources connected directly to the external pre-amp, this receiver acts as a standard power amplifier. For digital sources connected to this receiver, the receiver acts as a digital decoder/digital-to-analog converter and as a power amplifier. 1 Remove the U-shaped connectors that connect the PRE OUT jacks to the POWER IN jacks. 2 Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the PRE OUT jacks of this receiver to a stereo input on the pre-amp. Use any input except phono. 3 Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the stereo pre out jacks of the pre-amp to the FRONT POWER AMP IN jack of this receiver. Using a separate power amplifier for main room stereo sound An alternative multi room setup involves using a separate power amplifier to power a pair of stereo speakers in the main room, while using this receiver to power the sub-room speakers. You might want to do this if your power requirements for the main room are not met by this receiver. 1 Connect the MULTI ROOM OUT jacks to the POWER IN jacks (both on this receiver). 2 Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the FRONT PRE OUT jacks of this receiver to the power amp's inputs. 3 Connect the sub room speakers to the FRONT A speaker outputs on this receiver. 4 Connect the main room speakers to the speaker outputs on the power amp.

Pre Out Power Setup
Using an separate stereo pre-amplifier
It is possible to use a separate stereo pre-amp in conjunction with this receiver. You might want to do this
if you need to connect more sources than this receiver can accommodate, or if you prefer to use a
specific pre-amp for sound quality reasons.
You can connect sources to either this receiver or to the external pre-amp (giving you a greater number of
input possibilities). For stereo sources connected directly to the external pre-amp, this receiver acts as a
standard power amplifier. For digital sources connected to this receiver, the receiver acts as a digital
decoder/digital-to-analog converter and as a power amplifier.
1
Remove the U-shaped connectors that connect the PRE OUT jacks to the POWER IN jacks.
2
Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the PRE OUT jacks of this receiver to a stereo input on the
pre-amp.
Use any input except phono.
3
Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the stereo pre out jacks of the pre-amp to the FRONT
POWER AMP IN jack of this receiver.
Using a separate power amplifier for main room stereo sound
An alternative multi room setup involves using a separate power amplifier to power a pair of stereo
speakers in the main room, while using this receiver to power the sub-room speakers. You might want to
do this if your power requirements for the main room are not met by this receiver.
1
Connect the MULTI ROOM OUT jacks to the POWER IN jacks (both on this receiver).
2
Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect the FRONT PRE OUT jacks of this receiver to the power
amp
’
s inputs.
3
Connect the sub room speakers to the FRONT A speaker outputs on this receiver.
4
Connect the main room speakers to the speaker outputs on the power amp.
