10Other connections

2Select the ‘Front Bi-Amp’ setting from the Speaker Systems menu.

See Speaker Systems on page 58 to specify how you’re using the surround back speaker terminals.

Note

•For 7.1 surround sound with this configuration, you must connect an additional amplifier to the surround back channel pre-outs. See Connecting additional amplifiers on page 82 for more on this.

Caution

•Most speakers with both Hi and Low terminals have two metal plates that connect the Hi 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

The reasons for bi-wiring are basically the same as bi- amping, but additionally, interference effects within the wire could be reduced, producing better sound. Again, to do this your speakers must be bi-wireable (that is they must have separate terminals for the high and low frequencies). When bi-wiring, make sure you’ve selected Normal Surround in Speaker Systems on page 58.

•To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to each speaker terminal on the receiver.

Adding a second set of surround speakers for Bi-Surround

If your listening area is quite long, and you are seated far from the front speakers, you may want to add an extra set of left and right surround speakers instead of your surround back speakers. These should be placed between the front speakers and your existing surround speakers (which should already be placed on either side of your listening position).

1Connect a second set of surround speakers as shown below.

Connect the second surround left speaker to the surround back left speaker terminal. Connect the second surround right speaker in the same way.

2Select the ‘Bi-Surround’ setting from the Speaker Systems menu.

See Speaker Systems on page 58 to specify how you’re using the surround back speaker terminals.

Caution

•Make sure you use a parallel (not series, which are fairly uncommon) connection when bi-wiring your speakers.

•Don't connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way.

Using the pre-outs

Connecting additional amplifiers

This receiver has more than enough power for any home use, but it’s possible to add additional amplifiers to every channel of your system using the pre-outs. If you use additional amps for the front channels take out the U- shaped connectors (see item 8 in Rear panel on page 14). Make the connections shown below to add amplifiers to power your speakers.
