Owner’s Manual

Playing back more high-quality sounds with bi-amp connections
Using the four internal amplifiers for front speakers allows you to have more high-
quality sounds.
For example, you can use 2-way bi-amplified speakers with a woofer and tweeter for
front speakers. It produces expansive sound in bi-amp system featuring a woofer and
tweeter. By directly driving each speaker individually, it produces powerful sound
while maintaining the feeling of high S/N ratio.
Note
When using the four internal amplifiers in bi-amp system, the unit supports only 2- to 5.1-channel speaker
system.
Connecting front speakers that support bi-amp
connections
When using front speakers that support bi-amp connections, connect them to the
FRONT terminals and SURROUND BACK/PRESENCE/BI-AMP/ZONE B
terminals.
To enable the bi-amp function, set “Power Amp Assign” (p.85) in the “Setup” menu
to “BI-AMP” after connecting the power cable to an AC wall outlet.
