Connecting the AV Receiver
—Continued
The FRONT SPEAKERS L/R and SURR BACK
SPEAKERS L/R terminal posts can be used with front
speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi-
amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for
a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, pro-
viding improved bass and treble performance.
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to
drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT SPEAKERS L/R terminal
posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.
And the SURR BACK SPEAKERS L/R terminal
posts connect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections
shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must
set the Speakers Type setting to Bi-Amp to enable
biamping (see page 44).
Important:
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure
to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’
tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.
