Using a bi-amplifier
connection
If you are not using surround back speakers
and front high speakers, you can use the
SURROUND BACK/FRONT HIGH/ZONE 2
terminals for the front speakers for use with a
bi-amplifier connection.
To connect speakers
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
speakers have been removed from the speakers
to avoid receiver malfunction.
To set up speakers
For details, see “Speaker Connection” in the
Speaker Settings menu (page 94).
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).
