Onkyo PR-SC5508 instruction manual Bi-amping the Front Speakers, Speaker Impedance

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R outputs can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers, respec- tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, pro- viding improved bass and treble performance.

•When bi-amping is used, the AV controller is able to feed up to 7.2 speakers in the main room.

•For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

•Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV controller, you must set the “Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-amping (➔ 48).

Important:

•When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.

•Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.
