CONNECTIONS
Advanced speaker configuration
Connecting an external amplifier
The same channel signals are output from the jacks of the PRE OUT and ZONE OUT terminals as from
their corresponding SPEAKERS terminals. When connecting an external power amplifier (pre-main
amplifier) to enhance speaker output, connect the input terminals of the power amplifier to the PRE
OUT and ZONE OUT terminals of this unit.
NOTES
• When a component is connected to the PRE OUT and ZONE OUT terminals, do not connect speakers
to the SPEAKERS terminals corresponding to those PRE OUT and ZONE OUT terminals.
• When an external amplifier equipped with a volume adjustment function is connected, a sufficient
volume level may not be achieved.
Use of the following components is recommended.
– An amplifier with no volume adjustment function.
– An integrated amplifier equipped with a function that bypasses volume circuitry, such as the
Yamaha A-S2000 with MAIN IN input.
