Caution
• Remove the unit's power cable from an AC wall outlet before making any connections or operating the
switches.

Using a speaker that supports bi-amp connection

If you want to use a speaker that supports bi-amp connection to have more high-quality
sounds, change the CH. SELECTOR setting and connect the speaker to the
corresponding pair of the SPEAKERS terminals.
(Example)
Using a speaker that supports bi-amp connection for CH.2 (R)
The unit (rear)
CH.2 A (R) and
CH.3 (R) terminals
By setting the CH. SELECTOR for CH.3 (R) to "CH.2", CH.2 (R) input signals are output
from both the CH.2 (R) and CH.3 (R) speaker terminals. In this case, CH.3 (R) input is
not used.
Caution
• Before making bi-amp connections, remove any brackets or cables that connect a woofer with a
tweeter. Refer to the instruction manual of the speakers for details. If you are not making bi-amp
connections, make sure that the brackets or cables are connected before connecting the speaker
cables.

front speakers to be used by pressing SPEAKERS A/B on the front panel of the unit.
• When using two pairs of the speakers connected to the CH.2 A/B terminals at the same time, be sure to
use 8-ohm speakers and set IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to the upper position (p.7).
