About the FRONT 2/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals
The FRONT 2/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals can be used as
follows:
• To connect the second pair of the front speakers in Zone 1.
• To connect the front speakers in Zone 2 when using the multi-
room operations (see page 19).
• To connect the front speakers in Zone 1 and to drive them using
two amplifiers built in this receiver.
If the speakers connected are of the bi-wiring connection type, you
can connect the speakers as illustrated below. (You can use either
front speaker terminals for high frequency or for low frequency
terminals.)
To use the speaker with the above connection, see “w Setting the
Zone 2/Speakers 2 Usage—ZONE 2/SPEAKER 2” on pages
43 and 44.
• When this connection is used, you cannot use the surround back
speakers. (In this case, no sounds come out of the SURR BACK
PREOUT jacks.)
Connecting a subwoofer
You can enhance the bass by connecting a subwoofer.
Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER PREOUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with
RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
