Using Bi-Amplification Connections - Yamaha RX-V1700 Owner's Manual

Using bi-amplification connections

Some of the speakers have speaker wire connections that
allow bi-amplification to enhance the performance of the
speaker system. This unit allows you to make bi-
amplification connection to one speaker system. Check if
your speakers support bi-amplification. As these speakers
are shipped to you, you will note shorting bars or bridges,
one connecting the two red input terminals and the other
connecting the two black input terminals. Remove these
shorting bars or bridges only if you plan to bi-amplify
your speakers.
■ Conventional connection
If you want to connect your speakers as traditional
loudspeakers using the conventional connection method,
connect your speakers using the regular left and right
speaker wire connections and ignore the second set of
terminals.
