Connecting a Power Amplifier
—Continued
When you use bi-wiring-enabled speakers for the front speakers, you can make the bi-amp connection. In this
connection, the front and surround back speaker terminals on the power amplifier will be used for tweeter and woofer,
respectively. This connection allows you to obtain high quality sound as well as maximum treble and bass performance
from the tweeter and woofer, enriching your sound experience.
Caution:
When making the bi-amp connection, make sure to remove the shorting bars connecting the high range
(Tweeter) and low range (Woofer) terminals.
For the settings on the bi-amp connection, see pages 92 and 93.
1. Connect the (+) tweeter terminal of the right speaker to the FRONT RIGHT (+) terminal on the power amplifier
and the (+) woofer terminal of the right speaker to the SURROUND BACK RIGHT (+) terminal on the power
amplifier.
2. Connect the (–) tweeter terminal of the right speaker to the FRONT RIGHT (–) terminal on the power amplifier
and the (–) woofer terminal of the right speaker to the SURROUND BACK RIGHT (–) terminal on the power
amplifier.
3. Connect the (+) tweeter terminal of the left speaker to the FRONT LEFT (+) terminal on the power amplifier and
the (+) woofer terminal of the left speaker to the SURROUND BACK LEFT (+) terminal on the power amplifier.
4. Connect the (–) tweeter terminal of the left speaker to the FRONT LEFT (–) terminal on the power amplifier and
the (–) woofer terminal of the left speaker to the SURROUND BACK LEFT (–) terminal on the power amplifier.
