SPEAKER SETUP

■FRONT terminals

Note

The Canada model cannot output to two separate speaker systems simultaneously.

Bi-wired connection

The unit also allows you to make bi-wired connections to one speaker system. Use two pairs of speaker cables for each speaker (one pair for the woofer and one pair for the tweeter/mid-range). To use the bi-wired connections, press SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B on the front panel so that both SP A and B light up in the front panel display.
