Onkyo TX-NR609 Bi-amping the Front Speakers

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

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 46).

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.
