Caution

Remove the shorting bars or bridges of your speakers to separate the LPF (low pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers.

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 A and SUR.BACK/BI-AMP terminals as shown below. To activate the bi- amplification connections, set “BI-AMP”to “ON” in “Advanced setup” (see page 120).
