Abstract
A pre-out terminal that outputs a left outside audio signal can be fixed and an increase of the number of DACs is prevented. In the case that a surround back left audio signal SBL and a left outside audio signal LW are included, the signal SBL is amplified and output to a surround back left SP terminalthrough a switch S. The signal LW is amplified and output to a left outside SP terminalthrough a switch S. The signal LW is supplied from a DACto a left outside pre-out terminalthrough a switch S. At this point, in order to supply the signal LW to the left outside pre-out terminal, a DACis not used, but the DACis used. Accordingly, the DACcan be used for another signal (ex., ZONE) to decrease the number of DACs.
