Other connections 08 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. • Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only. • The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 36. • To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver. • If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 43) to large. Multi-room listening This receiver can power up to three independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper multiroom connections. An example multi-room setup is shown below, but the number of multi-room connections (and the way you choose to connect them) depends on how you want to set up your system.

SURR MCACC RECEIVER S.DIRECT Different sources can be playing in three rooms at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used (however, if iPod or XM Radio is selected in the main room, it cannot also be selected in the sub room). The main and sub rooms have independent power (the main room power can be off while one (or both) of the sub rooms is on) and the sub rooms can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls. However, you may need to specify the volume settings in Multi-Room Setup on page 65. Making multi-room connections It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate TV and speakers for your primary (ROOM 2) sub room, and a separate amplifier1 (and speakers) for your secondary (ROOM 3) sub room. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the Surround Back System setup (see below) for your primary sub room. There are two primary sub room setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you. Note 1 You can't use sound controls (such as the tone controls or Midnight listening) or any surround modes with a separate amplifier in the sub room. You can, however, use the features available with your sub room amplifier. 57 En
