Bi-wiring your speakers

The reasons for bi-wiring are basically the same as bi- amping, but additionally, interference effects within the wire could be reduced, producing better sound. Again, to do this your speakers must be bi-wireable (that is they must have separate terminals for the high and low frequencies). When bi-wiring, make sure you’ve selected Normal (SB) or 2nd Zone in Surround back speaker setting on page 33.

•To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.

Using a banana plug for the second connection is recommended.

•You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

•The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 33.

•To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.

•If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 37) to

LARGE.

Caution

•Make sure you use a parallel (not series, which are fairly uncommon) connection when bi-wiring your speakers.
