This connection limits the effects of signal interference between the high range speakers (tweeters) and low range speakers (woofers), allowing you to
enjoy high quality playback.
When bi-wiring with bi-wireable speakers, connect the mid and high range terminals to SPEAKERS B (or SPEAKERS A), the low range terminals to
SPEAKERS A (or SPEAKERS B).

You can connect turntables, CD players, network audio players and tuners to this unit.
This unit is compatible with turntables equipped with a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge. When you connect to a turntable with a low output moving
coil (MC) cartridge, use a commercially available MC head amp or a step-up transformer.
If you set this unit’s input source to “PHONO” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.

connectors to perform operations on this unit with the supplied remote
control unit without visual contact. This might be necessary if the unit is
hidden in a cupboard or corner, so you can’t directly point with the remote
control unit to the device.
To do this, disable the remote control signal receiving function “Setting the
remote signal receiving function” (v p. 33).

When a digital sound signal that has a sampling frequency that is not supported by
this unit is input, the input indicator (COAXIAL, OPTICAL 1 or OPTICAL 2) flashes.
Explanation of terms
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Source direct
Playback with higher fidelity to the source becomes possible, as input
audio signals are output by bypassing the audio quality-control circuits
(BASS/TREBLE/BALANCE).
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply
when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
