Hello, I have a New Yamaha A2060 receiver......I am hooking up a 2 channel XPA Gen3 amp to the 2 front towers. On the back of the receiver is pre-outs red and white.....which goes to the amp? Does it matter?  Is red for the right speaker or does it matter? |

It matters greatly if you like stereo sound with the proper sound stage. Red preamp out is for the right side - white is left. The area in white is your preamp out jacks. Use the front L/R (white/red) jacks to the amp. This will also free up two amp channels in the AVR - you can reassign those two amp channels for zone II or you can leave them idle.

Yes Red is the color code for Right and White is the color code used for Left

As said it doesn't matter as long as you keep things arranged correctly
Since the amp has lights in the front I like the lights to be correct as Left and Right so on the back connections I us the Left side of the amp for Right and the Right side of the amp as Left this make the lights correct for R/L in the front.
For HT amp connections (7 channel) I start at the amps back left connections and go R back-surround, R side-surround, R Front, Center, L Front, L side-surround, L rear-surround

Look at the pic below. In that white box is the preamp outs. Underneath one set of L/R - LEFT/RIGHT WHITE/RED jacks is a label - FRONT. Use them as they are marked. It's that easy!  |

Given how anemic HT amps are, if you offload the front channels to an outboard amp, that is all to-the-good.
You'll have slightly more power to allot to the remaining speakers hooked to the receiver.
I'd also like to see a small monoblock used for the 'center'. That'll Really Help!
Guys, you are 100% about Red = Right.
Look at the far left of the back panel of the receiver. Small R or L in a white circle next to the appropriate input line.

Look at the far right next to phone. There is an R and a L marked. Just follow it across if your unsure.

Sometimes having good information in old threads is how I find answers to questions that I have. Just trying to contribute with what I know. |
