The sound output from each pre out terminal is the same as the sound output from the speaker terminals
of the same name. The channel used for sound output will depend on the
Speaker System
settings (see
Installing your speaker system
).
!
If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see
on
) 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
on
.
