Connecting 5.1-channel speaker system with bi-
amplifier connection
You can enhance the sound quality of the front speakers by connecting different amplifiers to
both a tweeter and a woofer, using bi-amplifier connection.
If you are not using surround back speakers or front high speakers, you can connect the front
speakers to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP/FRONT HIGH/FRONT B terminals
using a bi-amplifier connection. Connect each speaker as illustrated below.
Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
For details on how to connect speaker cables to the receiver, see "How to connect speaker
cables."
Connecting front speakers with bi-amplifier connection
Connect the jacks on the Lo (or Hi) side of the front speakers to the SPEAKERS FRONT A
terminals, and connect the jacks on the Hi (or Lo) side of the front speakers to the SPEAKERS
SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP/FRONT HIGH/FRONT B terminals.
Make sure that metal fittings of Hi/Lo attached to the speakers have been removed from the
speakers to avoid receiver malfunction.
