What is the Amplifier Redirect feature on my Rotel receiver for?
Many Rotel surround receivers include an amplifier redirect feature that allows you to customize your amplification based on your system.
For 5 channel receiver models, the redirect feature means it is possible to connect a more powerful amplifier for the Front Main speakers while the front channels of the receiver are “redirected” to power the Center Back speaker(s) in the system.
For the 7 channel receiver models RSX-1067, it is possible to utilize the built-in center back amplifiers of the RSX-1067 to power a set of speakers in a second zone when the home theater is configured for 5.1 audio.
For the 7 channel receiver models RSX-1560 and RSX-1562, in addition to redirecting the center back amplifiers to one of the remote zones, another option is to redirect these amplifiers to power the front channels in a biamp configuration, so you can utilize 2 channels of amplification per speaker.
