ADVANCED
DUAL AMP
function
The advanced dual amp function activates
automatically when you use 2-channel
stereo playback or 5.1-channel playback.
The unit takes advantage of the
unused surround back speaker
amplifier, and runs one speaker with
two amplifiers when this function is on.
Advanced dual amplifier offers you sounds
that are clearer and higher in audio quality
than those available in normal playback. • The [ADVANCED DUAL AMP]
indicator stays on while
advanced dual amp is at work.
You can also set the advanced dual amp
function off (
á page 33).
Enjoying BI-
AMP sounds
This function activates automatically when you
play analogue audio sources or two-channel
PCM signals through bi-wiring connections.
The unit takes advantage of the front speaker
and the surround speaker amps, and drives the
speakers’ high-frequency and low-frequency
sections separately when this function is on.
The advanced dual amp function (
á
above) is
available with the bi-amp function. When
combined, the two functions enhance clarity
and audio quality of stereo sounds.
• Refer to page 11 for connecting
BI-WIRE speakers.
• Select “ YES ” in “Setting bi-
wiring connections” ( á page
31).
• Switch the MULTI CH
SURROUND effect off ( á page
16).
You cannot use the bi-amp function with
analogue 6-channel connections for
DVD-Audio sources (
á
below).
• The [BI-AMP] indicator stays on while
bi-amp is at work.
• Refer to page 32 for “Making bi-amp
settings”.
