Connect the jacks on the Lo (or Hi) side of the
front speakers to the FRONT A terminals,
and connect the jacks on the Hi (or Lo) side of
the front speakers to the SURROUND BACK/
FRONT HIGH/ZONE 2 terminals. Make sure
that metal fittings of Hi/Lo attached to the

to avoid receiver malfunction.

Notes
• You cannot use the FRONT B terminals for a bi-
amplifier connection.
• Make the bi-amplifier settings before you perform
the Auto Calibration function.
• If you make the bi-amplifier settings, the speaker
level, balance, and equalizer settings of the
surround back speakers become invalid, and those
of the front speakers are used.
• If the speaker pattern is set so that there are
surround back speakers or front high speakers, you
cannot set the SURROUND BACK/FRONT
HIGH/ZONE 2 terminals for a bi-amplifier
connection.
• When you operate the receiver without using the
GUI, set "SB ASSIGN" to "BI-AMP" in
"SPEAKER" (page 112).
