03 Connecting your equipment
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they sup-
port bi-amping.
! With these connections, the Speaker System
setting makes no difference.
CAUTION
! Don’t connect different speakers from the
same terminal in this way.
! When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for
bi-amping shown above.
% To bi-wire a speaker, connect two
speaker cords to the speaker terminal on
the receiver.
Using a banana plug for the second connection
is recommended.
Selecting the Speaker system
The front height terminals can be used for front
wide and Speaker B connections, in addition to
for the front height speakers. Also, the surround
back terminals can be used for bi-amping and
ZONE 2 connections, in addition to for the sur-
round back speakers. Make this setting accord-
ing to the application.

Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver and low frequency driver of your speakers
to different amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your speakers must be bi-ampable to do
this (having separate terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the
kind of speakers you’re using.

CAUTION
! Most speakers with both High and Low terminals have two metal plates that connect the High
to the Low terminals. These must be removed when you are bi-amping the speakers or you could
severely damage the amplifier. See your speaker manual for more information.
! If your speakers have a removable crossover network, make sure you do not remove it for bi-amping.
Doing so may damage your speakers.
