OUTPUT terminals (for driving speakers with external amplifiers)
Be sure to switch this only when the power of this unit is turned
off.
Select the position whose requirements your speaker system
meets.
(Upper position)
Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 6Ω or
higher.
Center: If you use one center speaker, the impedance of the
speaker must be 6Ω or higher.
If you use two center speakers, the impedance of
each speaker must be 3Ω or higher.
Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance
of each speaker must be 4Ω or higher.
If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance
of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.
(Lower position)
Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or
higher.
Center: If you use one center speaker, the impedance of the
speaker must be 8Ω or higher.
If you use two center speakers, the impedance of
each speaker must be 4Ω or higher.
Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance
of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.
If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance
of each speaker must be 16Ω or higher.

DSP-A592 DSP-A492
MAIN OUTPUT terminals DSP-A592 only
These terminals are for main channel line output. There is no
connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
However, if you drive main speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an
integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
* Output signals from the MAIN OUTPUT terminals only are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls
and BASS EXTENSION switch.
CENTER OUTPUT terminal
This terminal is for center channel line output. There is no
connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier.
However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power
amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to
this terminal.
REAR (SURROUND) OUTPUT terminals
DSP-A592 only
These terminals are for rear channel line output. There is no
connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
However, if you drive rear speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an
integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal
This terminal is for connecting with the input terminal of an
amplifier for driving a subwoofer.
DSP-A592
When the input signals to this unit are in normal 2-channel
stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 150 Hz
(200 Hz for General model only) from the main and center
channels. When discrete signals are input to this unit and are
selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from
the subwoofer channel.
DSP-A492
This terminal outputs only frequencies below 150 Hz (200 Hz
for General model only) from the main and center channels.
Note
Output level of signals from all of these terminals are adjusted
by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel or VOLUME
keys on the remote control transmitter.
