A To enjoy bi-amp sound

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By using the bi-wiring feature of this unit to connect your

 

 

 

 

speakers, you are able to take advantage of two separate

 

 

 

 

amplifiers for the high frequency and low frequency ranges. This

 

 

 

 

enables more highly defined sound reproduction of the two ranges

 

 

 

 

thus producing high quality bi-amp stereo sound.

 

 

 

 

Ensure “BI-AMP” lights when [BI-WIRE] is

 

 

 

 

selected.
