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.
