Bi-amping the Front Speakers
Important:
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove
the jumper bars that link the speakers' tweeter (high) and
woofer (low) terminals.
• Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support bi-
amping. Refer to your speaker manual.
Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble performance.
When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive
up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room.
Once you've completed the bi-amping connections as
shown and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the
speaker setting to enable bi-amping (➔ page
Note
• Speakers A and Speakers B can be connected normally or bi-
amped, but cannot be bi-amped at the same time.

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 A)" or "Speakers Type(Front B)"
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 7.2 speaker system in the main room.
You must enable "Digital Crossover" in "Speakers
Type(Front A)" or "Speakers Type(Front B)"
(➔ page 66) and make the settings of "Digital
Processing Crossover Network" (➔ page
Note
• You need to make the setting before connecting the speakers.
• Speakers A and Speakers B can be connected normally or
connected to speakers without crossover network, but cannot be
connected to speakers without crossover network at the same
time.
