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 (SB) or Second Zone in Surround back speaker setting on page 38.

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