If you want to set up other devices like a record player, you can use the phono input or any remaining AUX inputs.
Use the input selector to switch between the different audio sources (e.g., TV, record player, or other devices).

5. Expand Your Setup with Additional Speakers or Subwoofers

If you want to expand your system further, you can use the RCA outputs on the back of the PPA53 to connect another powered speaker or a powered subwoofer.
