Bi-amping your speakers
Speaker System setting: Front Bi-Amp
Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver and low frequency driver of your speakers to different
amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate termi-
nals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.

CAUTION
! Most speakers with both High and Low terminals have two metal plates that connect the High to the Low
terminals. These must be removed when you are bi-amping the speakers or you could severely damage the
amplifier. See your speaker manual for more information.
! If your speakers have a removable crossover network, make sure you do not remove it for bi-amping. Doing so
may damage your speakers.
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support bi-amping.
! With these connections, the Speaker System setting makes no difference.
CAUTION
! Don’t connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way.
! When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for bi-amping shown above.
% To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.
