Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround back speakers. Dipole
speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be
positioned. The surround dipole speakers (a) should be positioned so that their arrows
point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers (b) should be
positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.
Using Powered Subwoofers
You can connect the powered subwoofers with SW1 PRE
OUT and SW2 PRE OUT respectively.
The level and distance can be set individually for each output.
If you’re using only one subwoofer, connect it to
SW1 PRE
OUT .
To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a
movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing
your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and
choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.
Tip
• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external
amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the
amplifier.
Bi-amping the Front Speakers
Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble
performance.
When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive
up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room.
Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections as
shown and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the
speaker setting to enable bi-amping (

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.
