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, providing improved bass and treble performance.

Notes:

Please make sure that your AV controller supports bi-amping.

When bi-amping is used, the amplifier is able to feed up to 7-channel speakers in the main room.

When bi-amping is used, surround back speakers cannot be used.

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, you must turn on the AV controller and configure it to enable bi-amping. For more details, see the instruction manual of the connected component.

You can also use unbalanced (RCA) connections for bi-amping.

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.
