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 a speaker pattern in which speakers are not connected to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/HEIGHT(FRONT

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 “

the jacks on the Hi (or Lo) side of the front speakers to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/HEIGHT(FRONT B/BI-
AMP/ZONE 2) terminals.
Make sure that metal fittings of Hi/Lo attached to the speakers have been removed from the speakers to avoid
receiver malfunction.
