About Bi-amp Connections

These connections make for higher quality playback sound with no interference between the signals of the bass and treble units.

When making a bi-amp connection, the same signal is output from the front speaker terminal and the “Bi-Wir. or Bi-Amp“ terminal.

NOTE

• 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.
