Yamaha RX-V1700 owner manual 17 En, Conventional connection, Bi-amplification connection

Using bi-amplification connections

Some of the speakers have speaker wire connections that allow bi-amplification to enhance the performance of the speaker system. This unit allows you to make bi- amplification connection to one speaker system. Check if your speakers support bi-amplification. As these speakers are shipped to you, you will note shorting bars or bridges, one connecting the two red input terminals and the other connecting the two black input terminals. Remove these shorting bars or bridges only if you plan to bi-amplify your speakers.

■Conventional connection

If you want to connect your speakers as traditional loudspeakers using the conventional connection method, connect your speakers using the regular left and right speaker wire connections and ignore the second set of terminals.
