Connections
The front speakers come with separate mid/high-range (HF) and low-range (LF) terminals.
• Bi-wiring prevents high frequency and low frequency signals from interfering with each other. It offers playback in high audio quality.
• HF and LF stand for high frequency and low frequency, respectively.
• When the front speaker is connected through bi-wire connection, be sure to set “Making bi-wire setting” (
á
below) to “
YES
” before
performing the auto speaker setup (
á
pages 26 and 27). Otherwise, the auto speaker setup cannot correctly adjust the audio to ELS
surround characteristic.
The shorting bars
Speaker cable
Remove the shorting bars
(but be sure to keep them in a safe place).
• Make sure to connect speakers’ HF terminals with the unit’s FRONT B terminals, and speakers’ LF terminals with the unit’s FRONT A
terminals.
• Different amps for high frequency and low frequency signals produce BI-AMP stereo sounds that are clearer and higher in audio
quality when you play on 2 channels sources containing analog audio and 2-channel PCM signals (
á
page 29).
• Set the speaker selector switch on the receiver to A/B (both A and B).
• See “Making BI-AMP settings” (
á
page 40) for detailed settings.
• Be sure to make this setting before performing the auto speaker setup (
á
pages 26 and 27) if this setting is made afterwards, the
setting value of the auto speaker setup is initialized and ELS Surround sound cannot be properly played back.
