Bi-amping the Front Speakers

Using Speakers Without Crossover Network

Connections

Connecting a Power Amplifier

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 be used only with speakers that support bi- amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble performance. When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to a 5.2 speaker system in the main room.

Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections as shown and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the speaker setting to enable bi-amping (➔ page 63).

Important:

•Speakers without crossover network are speakers with no built-in crossover network.

•With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to connect tweeters and woofers the wrong way around, as this may damage your speakers.

•With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to set “Speakers Type(Front)” to “Bi-Amp” as this may damage your speakers. Make sure that this setting is set to “Digital Crossover”.

•Confirm that your speakers are without crossover network by referring to your speaker manual.

Connecting speakers without crossover network provide a fine, three-dimensional sound field that extends bass and treble performance to the fullest extent. When speakers without crossover network are used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to a 5.2 speaker system in the main room. You must enable “Digital Crossover” in “Speakers Type(Front)” (➔ page 63) and make the settings of “Digital Processing Crossover Network” (➔ page 67).

Note

• You need to make the setting before connecting the speakers.

If you want to use a more powerful power amplifier, you can use the AV receiver as a preamp. Connect all speaker outputs to the power amplifier. See the manuals supplied with your amplifier for details.
