Denon AVR-2312CI Bi-Ampconnection

Bi-Amp connection

You can use the front speakers via the bi-amp connection.

A bi-amp connection is to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals of speakers compatible with the bi-amp function. This prevents the back electromotive force (returned force without output) of the woofer sent to the tweeter, which affects the sound quality of the tweeter, and you can enjoy playback with higher-quality sound.

In this case, set “Amp Assign” to “Bi-AMP” in steps 3 and 4 for “Set up “Amp Assign”” (vpage 65).

For surround playback of a multichannel source, if you connect the center speaker, surround speakers and subwoofers, 5.1-channel playback is available.

NOTE

•For speaker cable connections, see C page 6 “Connecting the speakers”.

•For speaker impedance , see page 59.

•Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.

•When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.
