CONNECTIONS ■ REC jacks • The REC jacks output audio signals of the currently selected input (except when LINE 3 is selected). • Volume level, tone control and balance settings do not affect the REC jacks. ■ Connecting speaker cables ■ Bi-wire connection Bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two independent sections. With these connections, the mid and high frequency drivers are connected to one set of terminals and the low frequency driver to another set of terminals.
