Bridging the Front Speakers A The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bridged together to provide almost double the output power for the front speakers A. • When bridging is used, surround back speakers cannot be used. • For bridging, the positive (+) FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts are used, but the negative (-) FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminals are not. • Once you've completed the bridging connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the "Speakers Type(Front A)" setting to "BTL" to enable bridging (➔ 51). • When front speakers A are bridged, front speakers B must be wired normally or not used. Right speaker Left speaker Note • Use only front speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher for bridging. Failure to do so may seriously damage the AV receiver. • When using bridging, make sure that your front speakers can handle the additional power. Bi-amping the Front Speakers B The FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R and SURR BACK/ ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts can be used with front wide speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers B that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance. • When bi-amping is used, surround back speakers cannot be used. • For bi-amping, the FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers' woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts connect to Tweeter (high) the front speakers' tweeter terminals. Woofer (low) • Once you've completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the "Speakers Type(Front B)" setting to "Bi-Amp" to enable biamping (➔ 51). Right speaker • When front speakers B are biamped, front speakers A must be wired normally. Left speaker Important: • When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speaker's tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals. • Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping.
