You can connect the presence speakers (see page 12) or the speakers in
the second zone (Zone2) (see page 53) to the EXTRA SP jacks.
You can connect speakers that support bi-amplification
connections to this unit. To connect the speakers via a bi-
amp connection, connect them to the FRONT jacks and
SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP jacks as illustrated.
To enable the bi-amp connection, connect the power cable
to the wall outlet, display the ADVANCED SETUP menu
and set “BI AMP” to “ON” (see page 58).
Note
•
You cannot use surround back speakers or extra speakers (presence and
Zone2 speakers) when bi-amplification connections are made.
Connecting the speaker cable
Caution
•
A speaker cable is a pair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently
or striped to indicate a polarity. Connect one end of the colored/striped cable to the “+” (red) terminal of this unit
and the other end to that of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the “–” (black) terminal of this
unit and the other end to that of your speaker.
•
Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable.
•
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or
speakers. If the circuit shorts out, “CHECK SP WIRES!” appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned
on.
•
If your video monitor is a CRT, use magnetically shielded speakers. If images on the monitor are still distorted even
when you use the magnetically shielded speakers, place the speakers away from the monitor.
•
Use speakers with an impedance of 6-ohm or larger. Set speaker impedance in “ADVANCED SETUP” before
connecting the speakers. You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers when you set “SP IMP.” to
“6
