Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts
can be used with front speakers and surround back
speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate
tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that
support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble
performance.
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver/AV ampli-
fier is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main
room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts con-
nect to the front speakers' woofer terminals. And the
SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front
speakers' tweeter terminals.
• Once you've completed the bi-amping connections
shown below and turned on the AV receiver/AV
amplifier, you must set the "Speakers Type" setting to
"Bi-Amp" to enable biamping (see page 47).
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 only be used with speakers that support
bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.
