2. Connecting speakers
Connecting 5.1-channel speaker system with bi-
amplifier connection
You can enhance the sound quality of the front speakers by separately connecting the built-in
amplifiers to tweeters and woofers in a bi-amplifier configuration.
If you are not using surround back speakers or height/overhead speakers, you can connect the
front speakers to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/HEIGHT terminals using a bi-amplifier
connection. Connect each speaker as illustrated below.
Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
For details on how to connect speaker cables to the receiver, see “How to connect speaker
