Connections
• Before connecting to the SPEAKERS
terminal
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the
"+"
(red)
terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain
cable to the "-" (black) terminals.
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of insulation
from the end of each speaker cable and then
twist the bare wires of the cable together to
prevent short circuits.
• Using bi-amplification connections
Caution
Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the
LPF (low pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter)
crossovers.
This unit allows you to make bi-amplification connections
to one speaker system. Check if your speakers support bi-
amplification.
To make the bi-amplification connections, use the FRONT
and SURROUND BACK terminals as shown below. To
activate the bi-amplification connections, set "BI-AMP"
to "ON" in "Advanced setup" (see page 82).
1
Loosen the knob.

Insert the bare end of the speaker wire into
the hole on the terminal.

Connecting the banana plug
(except Europe, Russia, Korea, and Asia models)
The banana plug is a single-pole electrical connector
widely used to terminate speaker cables. First, tighten the
knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the
end of the corresponding terminal.
• When you make the conventional connection, make sure that
the shorting bars are put into the terminals appropriately. Refer
to the instruction manuals of the speakers for details.
• When you use bi-amplification connections, you can not use
surround back speakers.
