10 Other connections • Make sure that the + / - connections are properly inserted. 2 Select the 'Front Bi-Amp' setting from the 'Surr Back System' menu. See Surround back speaker setting on page 35 to specify how you're using the surround back speaker terminals. Caution • Make sure you use a parallel (not series, which are fairly uncommon) connection when bi-wiring your speakers. • Don't connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way. Caution • Most speakers with both Hi and Low terminals have two metal plates that connect the Hi 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. Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display If you have a Pioneer plasma display1, you can use an SR+ cable to connect it to this unit and take advantage of various convenient features, such as automatic video input switching of the plasma display when the input is changed. CONTROL OUT Bi-wiring your speakers The reasons for bi-wiring are basically the same as bi-amping, but additionally, interference effects within the wire could be reduced, producing better sound. Again, to do this your speakers must be bi-wireable (that is they must have separate terminals for the high and low frequencies). When bi-wiring, make sure you've selected Normal (SB) or Second Zone in Surround back speaker setting on page 35. • To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver. Using a banana plug for the second connection is recommended.
