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.

Bi-wiring your speakers

Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they
support bi-amping.
• With these connections, the Surr Back
System setting makes no difference.
To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker
cables to the speaker terminal on the receiver.
Using a banana plug for the second
connection is recommended.
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 at the left.
