When connecting an external power amplifier to enhance speaker output, connect the input

Assign” setting (p.131).
b ZONE3/R.PRESENCE jacks (RX-A3080 only)
Output rear presence channel audio signals or Zone3 audio signals depending on the “Power Amp
Assign” setting (p.131).
c FRONT jacks

d SURROUND jacks

e SUR. BACK jacks
Output surround back channel sounds.
f CENTER jack

g FRONT (XLR) jacks (RX-A3080 only)

Connecting front speakers via an external power amplifier
Caution
• To prevent the generation of loud noises or abnormal sounds, make sure the followings before making
connections.
– Remove the power cable of the unit and turn off the external power amplifier before connecting them.
– When using the PRE OUT jacks, do not connect speakers to the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.
– When using a pre-main amplifier that does not have the volume control bypass, turn up the volume
of the pre-main amplifier enough and fix it. In this case, do not connect other devices (except the
unit) to the pre-main amplifier.
