ATTENTION: ENCEINTE D'IMPEDANCE DE 6 Ω - 16 Ω . FRONT R CENTER L AC IN A Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver and low frequency driver of your speakers to different amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the kind of speakers you're using. CAUTION • Most speakers with both High and Low terminals have two metal plates that connect the High 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. Surround right Surround left Bi-wiring your speakers Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support biamping. • With these connections, the Speaker System setting makes no difference. • 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. CAUTION • Don't connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way. • When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for biamping shown at the left. 26 En
