■ Bi-wire connection

In the case of speakers supporting the bi-wiring

connection, the tweeter/midrange unit and woofer of the

speakers can be driven independently through connections

shown in the following figure, allowing you to enjoy clear

mid- and high-range sounds.

Connect the other speaker to the other set of terminals in

the same way.

Note

When making bi-wire connections, remove the shorting bridges

or cables on the speaker. Refer to the speakers' instruction

manuals for more information.

To use the bi-wire connections, set the SPEAKERS selector on

the front panel to the A+B BI-WIRING position.
