Connections
■Before connecting to the SPEAKERS
terminal
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red)
terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain
cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation
from the end of each speaker cable and then
twist the bare wires of the cable together to
prevent short circuits.
■Connecting to the FRONT A terminals
1Loosen the knob.
2Insert the bare end of the speaker wire into
the hole on the terminal.
3Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
■Using bi-amplification connections
This unit allows you to make bi-amplification connections
to one speaker system. Check if your speakers support
bi-amplification.
To make the bi-amplification connections, use the FRONT
and SURROUND BACK terminals as shown below. To
activate the bi-amplification connections, set “BI-AMP”
to “ON” in “Advanced setup” (see page66).
• When you make the conventional connection, make sure that
the shorting bars are put into the terminals appropriately. Refer
to the instruction manuals of the speakers for details.
• When you use bi-amplification connections, you can not use
surround back speakers.
