Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround

back speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two

directions.

Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to

indicate how they should be positioned. The surround dipole

speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point

toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speak-

ers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward

each other, as shown.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s

SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to an input on

your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your sub-

woofer is unpowered and you’re using an external

amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT

jack to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two

SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.

The same signal is output from each jack.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK OR FRONT

HIGH OR FRONT WIDE L/R terminal posts can be

used with front speakers and surround back speakers

respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter

and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that sup-

port bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble per-

formance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to

drive up to a 5.1 speaker system in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts con-

nect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals; the

SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH OR FRONT

WIDE L/R terminal posts connect to the front speak-

ers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections

shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must

set the “Speakers Type” setting to “Bi-Amp” to

enable bi-amping (➔ 41).

Important:

• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low)

terminals.

• Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.
