Bi-amping your speakers

Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver and low frequency driver of your speakers to different amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.

CAUTION

!Most speakers with both High and Low terminals have two metal plates that connect the High to the Low terminals. These must be removed when you are bi-amping the speakers or you could severely damage the amplifier. See your speaker manual for more information.

!If your speakers have a removable crossover network, make sure you do not remove it for bi-amping. Doing so may damage your speakers.

Bi-wiring your speakers

Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support bi-amping.

!With these connections, the Speaker System setting makes no difference.

CAUTION

!Don’t connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way.

!When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for bi-amping shown above.

%To bi-wire a speaker, connect two

speaker cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.

Using a banana plug for the second connection is recommended.

Selecting the Speaker system

The front height terminals can be used for front wide and Speaker B connections, in addition to for the front height speakers. Also, the surround back terminals can be used for bi-amping and ZONE 2 connections, in addition to for the surround back speakers. Make this setting according to the application.

Front height setup

*Default setting

1Connect a pair of speakers to the front height speaker terminals.

See Standard surround connection on page 14 .

2If necessary, select ‘Normal(SB/FH)’ from the Speaker System menu.

See Speaker system setting on page 66 to do this.

Front wide setup

1Connect a pair of speakers to the front height speaker terminals.

See Standard surround connection on page 14 .

2Select ‘Normal(SB/FW)’ from the Speaker System menu.

See Speaker system setting on page 66 to do this.

Speaker B setup

You can listen to stereo playback in another room.

1Connect a pair of speakers to the front height speaker terminals.

See Standard surround connection on page 14 .

2Select ‘Speaker B’ from the

Speaker System menu.

See Speaker system setting on page 66 to do this.
