Using a bi-amplifier

connection

If you are not using surround back speakers

you can use the SURROUND BACK

(ZONE 2) terminals for the front speakers for

use with a bi-amplifier connection.

To connect speakers

Connect the jacks on the Lo (or Hi) side of the

front speakers to the FRONT A terminals,

and connect the jacks on the Hi (or Lo) side of

the front speakers to the SURROUND BACK

(ZONE 2) terminals. Make sure that metal

fittings of Hi/Lo attached to the speakers have

been removed from the speakers to avoid

receiver malfunction.

To set up speakers

For details, see “Speaker Connection” in the

Speaker Settings menu (page 95).

Notes

• You cannot use the FRONT B terminals for a bi-

amplifier connection.

• Make the bi-amplifier settings before you perform

the Auto Calibration function.

• If you make the bi-amplifier settings, the speaker

level, balance, and equalizer settings of the

surround back speakers become invalid, and those

of the front speakers are used.

• Signals output from the PRE OUT jacks are used

with the same settings as those of the SPEAKERS

terminals.

• If the speaker pattern is set so that there are

surround back speakers, you cannot set the

SURROUND BACK (ZONE 2) terminals for a bi-

amplifier connection.

• When you operate the receiver without using the

GUI, set “SB ASSIGN” to “BI-AMP” in

“SPEAKER SETTINGS” (page 118).
