Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK 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, providing 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 L/R terminal posts con- nect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter 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 45).

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