Bi-amping the Front Speakers

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued

The FRONT SPEAKERS L/R and SURR BACK SPEAKERS L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi- amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, pro- viding improved bass and treble performance.

•When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver/AV ampli- fier is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

•For bi-amping, the FRONT SPEAKERS L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals. And the SURR BACK SPEAKERS L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals.

•Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver/AV amplifier, you must set the Speakers Type setting to Bi-Amp to enable biamping (see 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.
