Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver 
and low frequency driver of your speakers to different 
amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your 
speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate 
terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement 
will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.
 CAUTION
• Most  speakers with both High and Low terminals 
have two metal plates that connect the High to the 
Low terminals. These must be removed when you are 
bi-amping the speakers or you could severely 
damage the amplifier. See your speaker manual for 
more information.
• If  your speakers have a removable crossover network, 
make sure you do not remove it for bi-amping. Doing 
so may damage your speakers.
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support bi-
amping.
• With these connections, the Speaker System setting 
makes no difference.
To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to 
the speaker terminal on the receiver.
Using a banana plug for the second connection is 
recommended.
 
 CAUTION
• Don’t connect different speakers from the same 
terminal in this way.
• When  bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for bi-
amping shown at the left.
