Connecting front speakers with a bi-amp connection•You cannot use surround back speakers in a bi-amp connection. Use front speakers that support a bi-amp connection and connect the speakers to the FRONT speaker terminals and the SURROUND BACK speaker terminals.
In this case, set “Assign Mode” to “SPKR-C” in steps 3 to 5 for “Set up “Amp Assign”” (vpage 87).
•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.
Cables used for connections
Audio cable (sold separately)
Speaker cable

For multichannel playback, connect front, center, surround, and surround back speakers and a subwoofer.

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