Connecting front speakers that support bi-amp connections
When using front speakers that support bi-amp connections, connect them to the
FRONT terminals and EXTRA SP 1 terminals.
To enable the bi-amp function, configure the “Power Amp Assign” setting (p.114) in the
“Setup” menu after connecting the power cable to an AC wall outlet.
■ Connecting Zone2/3 speakers
When using Zone2/3 speakers, connect them to the EXTRA SP 1–2 terminals.
To utilize the EXTRA SP 1–2 terminals for Zone2/3 speakers, configure the “Power Amp
Assign” setting (p.114) in the “Setup” menu after connecting the power cable to an AC
wall outlet.
• You can select a zone (Zone2 or Zone3) to be assigned to the EXTRA SP 1–2 jacks in “Power Amp Assign”
(p.114) in the “Setup” menu. By default, Zone2 is assigned to the EXTRA SP 1 jacks and Zone3 is
assigned to the EXTRA SP 2 jacks.
• You can also connect Zone2 and Zone3 speakers using an external amplifier (p.91).
Caution
• Before making bi-amp connections, remove any brackets or cables that connect a woofer with a
tweeter. Refer to the instruction manual of the speakers for details. If you are not making bi-amp
connections, make sure that the brackets or cables are connected before connecting the speaker
cables.
