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 Surr Back System setting makes no difference.

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

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 at the left.
