Connecting the bi-amp

Bi-amp connection is a method to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminal and woofer terminal of a speaker that supports bi-amplification. This
connection enables back EMF (power returned without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing
a higher sound quality.

0 When using this connection, set “Speaker Configuration”–“Amplifier Mode” in the
settings menu to “Bi-Amp”. (v p. 92)

NOTE
0 When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or

wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.
