Bi-amping the Front Speakers

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 5.1 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 43).
