Connecting Additional Amplifiers; Using This Receiver With A Pioneer Plasma Display - Pioneer 915 Operating Instructions Manual

11 Other connections
Caution
• Make sure you use a parallel (not series,
which are fairly uncommon) connection
when bi-wiring your speakers.
• Don't connect different speakers from the
same terminal in this way.
Connecting additional
amplifiers
This receiver has more than enough power for
any home use, but it's possible to add
additional amplifiers to every channel of your
system using the pre-outs. Make the
connections shown below to add amplifiers to
power your speakers.
• Before making or changing the
connections, switch off the power and
disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.

Note
1 • 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 (L (Single)) terminal only.
• The sound you hear from the surround back terminals depends on the Surround back speaker setting on page 43.
• To hear sound only from the pre-outs, simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.
• If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 48) to large.
2 This receiver is compatible with all Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward.
