Connecting the AV receiver—Continued
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R ter-
minal posts can be used with front speakers and surround
back speakers respectively, or bridged together to pro-
vide almost double the output power for the front
speakers A.
When bridging is used, surround back speakers cannot
be used.
For bridging, the positive (+) FRONT L/R and SURR
BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts are used, but the
negative (–) FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 3
L/R terminals are not.
Once you’ve completed the bridging connections
shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must
set the “Speakers Type(FrontA)” setting to “BTL” to
enable bridging (see page 57).
When front Speakers A are bridged, front Speakers B
must be wired normally or not used.
Notes:
Use only front speakers with an impedance of 8
ohms or higher for bridging. Failure to do so may
seriously damage the AV receiver.
When using bridging, make sure that your front speak-
ers can handle the additional power.

Bridged Speaker Hookup

Bridging the Front Speakers A

1Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT R positive (+)
terminal to the right speaker’s positive (+) ter-
minal. And connect the AV receiver’s SURR
BACK/ZONE 3 R positive (+) terminal to the
right speaker’s negative (–) terminal.
2Connect the AV receivers FRONT L positive (+)
terminal to the left speaker’s positive (+) terminal.
And connect the AV receiver’s SURR
BACK/ZONE 3 L positive (+) terminal to the left
speaker’s negative (–) terminal.
