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

2nd Zone

in

Surround back speaker

setting

on page 33.

To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to

the speaker terminal on the receiver.

Using a banana plug for the second connection is
recommended.

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.

Connecting additional amplifiers

This receiver has more than enough power for any home use,
but it’s possible to add additional amplifiers to every channel
of your system using the pre-outs. Make the connections
shown below to add amplifiers to power your speakers.

• Before making or changing the connections, switch

off the power and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.

• You can use the additional amplifier on the surround

back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In
this case plug the amplifier into the left (

L (Single)

)

terminal only.

• The sound from the surround back terminals will

depend on how you have configured the

Surround

back speaker setting

on page 33.

• To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the

speaker system to

OFF

, or simply disconnect any

speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.

• If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front

speaker setting (see

Speaker Setting

on page 37) to

LARGE

.

Using this receiver with a Pioneer
plasma display

If you have a Pioneer plasma display, you can use an

SR+ cable

1

to connect it to this unit and take advantage

of various convenient features, such as automatic video
input switching of the plasma display when the input is

changed.
