Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between
4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected
speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure
to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms”
(➔ page 66). If you use speakers with a lower
impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels
for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit
may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have
contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may
damage the AV receiver.
Note
• If the “11ch Playback” setting is set to “Yes”, no sound is output
from the FRONT WIDE terminals.
En-14
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
About Speakers A and Speakers B
Installing Speakers A and Speakers B allows you to enjoy
up to 7.2-channel surround-sound playback from each
speaker configuration. Each configuration has its own pair
of stereo front speakers and can use the same subwoofer,
center, surround, front high, and surround back speakers,
as required. You could, for example, use Speakers A when
watching a DVD movie with 7.2-channels surround sound
and use Speakers B for serious music listening with a pair
of stereo speakers (2-channels).
Speakers A and Speakers B can be connected normally, biamped, or connected to speakers without crossover
network, but cannot be bi-amped and connected to
speakers without crossover network at the same time. For
example, if Speakers B are bi-amped, Speakers A can only
be wired normally.
See also:
• “Speaker Settings” (➔ page 66)
• “Speaker Configuration” (➔ page 67)
• “Selecting Speaker Layout” (➔ page 55)
The versatility offered by the Speakers A and Speakers B
configurations means you can configure the AV receiver to
suit your exact requirements and application. Two typical
applications are shown below.
Note
• You cannot set speaker impedance individually for Speakers A
and Speakers B.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers
■ Speakers B
Connections
Using Speakers Without Crossover Network
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 biamping. Refer to your speaker manual.
Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble performance.
When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive
up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room.
Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections as
shown and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the
speaker setting to enable bi-amping (➔ page 66).
Note
• Speakers A and Speakers B can be connected normally or biamped, but cannot be bi-amped at the same time.

Important:
• Speakers without crossover network are speakers with no
built-in crossover network.
• With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to
connect tweeters and woofers the wrong way around, as this
may damage your speakers.
• With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to
set “Speakers Type(Front A)” or “Speakers Type(Front B)”
to “Bi-Amp” as this may damage your speakers. Make sure
that this setting is set to “Digital Crossover”.
• Confirm that your speakers are without crossover network by
referring to your speaker manual.
Connecting speakers without crossover network provide a
fine, three-dimensional sound field that extends bass and
treble performance to the fullest extent. When speakers
without crossover network are used, the AV receiver is
able to drive up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room.
You must enable “Digital Crossover” in “Speakers Type(Front A)” or “Speakers Type(Front B)”
(➔ page 66) and make the settings of “Digital
Processing Crossover Network” (➔ page 71).
