Bi-amping the Front Speakers The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance. • When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to a 5.1 speaker system in the main room. • For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers' woofer terminals; the SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers' tweeter terminals. • Once you've completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the "Speakers Type(Front)" setting to "Bi-Amp" to enable biamping (➔ 45). Right speaker Left speaker Tweeter (high) Woofer (low) Important: • When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers' tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals. • Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual. Connecting a Power Amplifier If you want to use a more powerful power amplifier and use the AV receiver as a preamp, connect it to the PRE OUT jacks, and connect all speakers to the power amplifier.
