Connecting the AV receiver—Continued
The FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R and SURR
BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts can be used with
front wide speakers and surround back speakers respec-
tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and
woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers B that support
bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble perfor-
mance.
• When bi-amping is used, surround back speakers can-
not be used.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R ter-
minal posts connect to the front speakers’ woofer ter-
minals. And the SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal
posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections
shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must
set the “Speakers Type(FrontB)” setting to “Bi-Amp”
to enable biamping (see page 57).
• When front Speakers B are biamped, front Speakers A
must be wired normally.
Important:
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure
to remove the jumper bars that link the Speaker’s
tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.
• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support
bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.
