Integra DTR-10.5 Using the BTL Connection, Using Bi-ampConnection, Connecting Speakers—Continued

Connecting Speakers—Continued

Using the BTL Connection

To get more powerful sound output, you can make the BTL (Bridged Transless) connection using the front and surround back speaker terminals on the DTR-10.5. In this connection, two speaker outputs of the stereo amplifier will be used as mono output by combining the individual stereo channel outputs, allowing you to get about twice the output.

Note:

When using the BTL connection, make sure that the speaker impedance is 8 ohm or higher.

For the settings on the BTL connection, see page 88.

Caution:

•When making the bi-amp connection, make sure to remove the shorting bars connecting the high range (Tweeter) and low range (Woofer) terminals.

•When using the bi-amp connection, make sure that the speaker impedance is 8 ohm or higher.

For the settings on the bi-amp connection, see pages 88, 89.

In the BTL connection, the (–) L/R speaker terminals on the DTR-10.5 will not be used.

1.Connect the (+) terminal on the right speaker to the FRONT R SPEAKERS (+) terminal on the DTR-10.5 and the (–) terminal on the right speaker to the SURR BACK R SPEAKERS (+) terminal on the DTR-10.5.

2.Connect the (+) terminal on the left speaker to the FRONT L SPEAKERS (+) terminal on the DTR-10.5 and the (–) terminal on the left speaker to the SURR BACK L SPEAKERS (+) terminal on the DTR-10.5.

Using Bi-amp Connection

When you use bi-wiring-enabled speakers for the front speakers, you can make the bi-amp connection. In this connection, the front and surround back speaker terminals will be used for tweeter and woofer, respectively. This connection allows you to obtain high quality sound as well as maximum treble and bass performance from the tweeter and woofer, enriching your sound experience.

1.Connect the (+) tweeter terminal of the right speaker to the FRONT R SPEAKERS (+) terminal on the DTR-10.5 and the (+) woofer terminal of the right speaker to the SURR BACK R SPEAKERS (+) terminal on the DTR-10.5.

2.Connect the (–) tweeter terminal of the right speaker to the FRONT R SPEAKERS (–) terminal on the DTR-10.5 and the (–) woofer terminal of the right speaker to the SURR BACK R SPEAKERS (–) terminal on the DTR-10.5.

3.Connect the (+) tweeter terminal of the left speaker to the FRONT L SPEAKERS (+) terminal on the DTR-10.5 and the (+) woofer terminal of the left speaker to the SURR BACK L SPEAKERS (+) terminal on the DTR-10.5.

4.Connect the (–) tweeter terminal of the left speaker to the FRONT L SPEAKERS (–) terminal on the DTR-10.5 and the (–) woofer terminal of the left speaker to the SURR BACK L SPEAKERS (–) terminal on the DTR-10.5.
