Using Speakers Without Crossover Network
Important:
• Speakers without crossover network are speakers with no built-in crossover network.
• With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to connect tweeters and
woofers the wrong way around, as this may damage your speakers.
• With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to set "Speakers Type(Front)"
to "Bi-Amp" as this may damage your speakers. Make sure that this setting is set to
"Digital Crossover".
• Confirm that your speakers are without crossover network by referring to your speaker
manual.
Connecting speakers without crossover network provide a fine, three-dimensional
sound field that extends bass and treble performance to the fullest extent. When
speakers without crossover network are used, the AV receiver is able to drive up
to a 7.1 speaker system in the main room.
Connect the FRONT (LOW FREQUENCY) terminals and the speaker's Woofer
(low) terminals, and FRONT HIGH (HIGH FREQUENCY) terminals and the
speaker's Tweeter (high) terminals as shown below.
You must enable "Digital Crossover" in "Speakers Type(Front)"
and make the settings of "Digital Processing Crossover Network"
Note
• You need to make the setting before connecting the speakers.

Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround and
surround back speakers. Dipole speakers output the
same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on
them to indicate how they should be positioned. The
surround dipole speakers (a) should be positioned so
that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while
the surround back dipole speakers (b) should be
positioned so that their arrows point toward each
other, as shown.
Connecting a Power Amplifier
You can use the AV receiver as a preamp. Connect all speaker outputs to the
