Bi-wiring your speakers

The reasons for bi-wiring are basically the
same as bi-amping, but additionally,
interference effects within the wire could be
reduced, producing better sound. Again, to do
this your speakers must be bi-wireable (that is
they must have separate terminals for the high
and low frequencies). When bi-wiring, make
sure you've selected Normal (SB) or Second
Zone in Surround back speaker setting on
page 38.
• To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker
cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.
Caution
• Make sure you use a parallel (not series,
which are fairly uncommon) connection
when bi-wiring your speakers.
• Don't connect different speakers from the
same terminal in this way.
Note
1 This receiver is compatible with all Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward.
